After some horsing around I managed to get run the command line as bjam 
does it.  So I got same error as above.  Then I edited the *.rsp file to 
remove the last \ from the "-IC:\modular-boost\" clause - and damn if it 
didn't compile.  (It compiled with a syntax error - I don't know if 
that's a problem).  Soooo it looks like your observation was spot on
