The short ans is, you can install boost-build-nightly or boost-build in AUR to fix this.
Boost jam is possible (but hard) to work without boost-build at all.
Maybe boost-build should be added in the optdepends array in boost's PKGBUILD.
Don't do that. AFAIK, boost-build.jam and boostcpp.jam are used to build boost itself, not for users.
The right way is just put boost-build in optdepends array, like this:
optdepends=('boost-build: to use boost jam to build your project.')
If you really want to include boost-build in boost package.
You have to copy "${boostdir}/tools/build/v2" to "${pkgdir}/usr/share/boost-build"
and remove "${pkgdir}/usr/share/boost-build/engine"
and generate a configure in "{pkgdir}/etc/site-config.jam" which at least include "using gcc ;" .
FYI, Just take a look how boost-build in AUR works.
IMO, this is a bad idea.
BTW I can pass that boost-build-test because I installed boost-build-nightly on my machine.
