Aha.  Notice that scanning "D:\Local_Git\Boost_1_54_0\" doesn't
include "D:\Local_Git\Boost_1_54_0\."  This is the source of
the problem.  (The same thing applies to "D:\.")  Current
Boost.Build assumes that "." always exists.  Can you file
a ticket at http://svn.boost.org/?  I should be able to
reproduce the problem now.

I don't think so.
