[Boost-build] Problem using multiple intel-win toolsets using Boost Build 'develop' branch

I have multiple versions of Intel C++ for Windows installed. In my 
user-config.jam the toolset definitions are:

using intel-win : 19.0 :
     :
     <compatibility>vc14.2
 
<root>"C:/Utilities/IntelSWTools/parallel_studio_xe_2019/compilers_and_libraries_2019/windows/bin"
     <rewrite-setup-scripts>off
     <cxxflags>"/Qdiag-disable:2415,367,3280,177"
     ;

using intel-win : 18.0 :
     :
     <compatibility>vc14.1
 
<root>"C:/Utilities/IntelSWTools/parallel_studio_xe_2018/compilers_and_libraries_2018/windows/bin"
     <rewrite-setup-scripts>off
     <cxxflags>"/Qdiag-disable:2415,367,3280,177,3346"
     ;

I can run tests successfully specifying toolset=intel-win-19.0, but I 
can not run tests at all specifying toolset=intel-win-18.0. This has 
nothing to do with any differences in the toolset definition between 
19.0 and 18.0. If I switch the order of the toolset definitions then 
18.0 runs successfully and 19.0 does not run at all.

What I mean by not running at all is that the compilation and link 
commands are missing the actual commands, and just show the command 
parameters. I have debugged the situation through the intel-win.init 
rule and everything is set up correctly in both cases. Also showing the 
relative portion of --debug-configuration output we have:

which is all correct for both 19.0 and 18.0. But like I said I verified 
by using the Boost Build debugger that the configuration initialization 
( intel-win.init ) is correct in what it does for both toolsets.

But looking at the output also with -d2 everything further refers to 
'intel-vc14.2-win-18.0' rather than 'intel-vc14.1-win-18.0', and I think 
that is why the compilation and link commands do not have the actual 
commands but just the parameters.

'/DEBUG' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Somehow the actual CPU conditions, as reflected in the file placement 
above, becomes a mishmash of the 'intel-win-19.0-vc14.2' and the 
'intel-win-18.0-vc14.1' to form 'intel-win-18.0-vc14.2', and naturally 
there are no .SETUP, .CC, or .LD for this mishmash case so the commands 
used lack a setup, compiler, or linker.

Does anybody have an idea what is causing this problem in Boost Build 
with multiple intel-win toolsets ? I believe this was previously working 
but some fairly recent changes somewhere in the Boost Build logic has 
caused this problem. Any pointers of where I can look to see why the 
mishmash change is being made using the Boost Build debugger would also 
be welcome.

BTW in Windows if I change the toolset name to just 'intel' instead of 
'intel-win' and invoke it as 'toolset=intel-18.0' the same problem still 
occurs.
