Ok, the problem had to do with static linking. Your example works at my 
place as you described. It did not work with link=static. (I had static 
linking ordered somewhere in a project clause. Sorry for not reporting it.)

Now it works as expected also with static linking with the Jamroot 
pasted below. Note that I added propagated and symmetric to the feature 
attributes. If I understand correctly, these attributes are needed to 
force separate build trees for each flavor.

Thanks for help,
Artem
