The first version will work as long as the value actually exists.

bjam --with-iostreams stage ...

I believe that this is documented by
bjam --help
Incidentally, in 1.38, the files are created under bin.v2 regardless of 
whether

It looks like these are defined in libboost_iostreams...

Can you check whether bzip2.cpp is actually being added to the
sources towards the bottom of the Jamfile?
