[Boost-build] bjam fails to build Qt project when including QtUiTools

bjam (boost-build from boost 1.54.0, running on Ubuntu 14.04) fails to build
a Qt program when including QtUiTools. Including any other Qt component
seems to work fine. Removing QtUiTools from the Jamroot below results in a
successful build. The source files just contain a dummy class and include
QtCore.

Simple Jamroot to reproduce issue:

using gcc ;

using qt4 : /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/ ;

lib DummyLib
  : source.cpp
    header.hpp
    /qt//QtCore
    /qt//QtUiTools
  : <include>.
    <include>/usr/include/qt4/
;

Error message when running bjam:
