That's indeed a Windows-specific bug in Boost.Build V2. I've just committed
an initial fix and a testcase (that's revision 1.182 of tools/builtin.jam).

If that's no convenient for you to get the CVS version, you can remove the
$(TOP)/ part in Jamroot -- all paths are relative to Jamroot by default,
and it's the $(TOP) that causes the bug.

Thanks for reporting!
