It doesn't. I tried

   bjam --toolset=msvc-8.0 cxxflags=/wd4251

but bjam spits errors about invalid arguments and aborts without 
building anything. So I tried

   bjam --toolset=msvc-8.0 --cxxflags=/wd4251

and it was better, but not good enough. It did compile this time, only 
warning 4251 was still not disabled. So I tried

   bjam -d+2 --toolset=msvc-8.0 --cxxflags=/wd4251

to show the actual command executed (as suggested by bjam --help) but I 
couldn't figure anything from it. It seems 'cl' is passed some .rsp 
files, instead of .cpp file (as I expected). The command line didn't 
include '/wd4251', but maybe it's because the usage of the .rsp file 
(which I have no idea what it is).

To conclude, I still can't disable a warning...
