Why do you think that's a problem?  Did something in the
documentation for Boost.Python lead you to believe that the
environment variable HDRS would be used for anything?

Searching in the bjam documentation for a means to set my
own extra include files, I found this in
"http://www.boost.org/tools/build/jam_src/Jambase.html":
Jambase Rules
...
HDRS
Directories to be searched for header files. This is used by
the Object rule to: set up search paths for finding files
returned by header scans add -I flags on compile commands
When I tried to set it in the Jamfile with a line:
    HDRS = path ;
It did not do what I expected (An extra '-I path' in the gcc
command). Did I misunderstand the rule (or all of bjam)?

This is not a bug.  To set your own extra include files,
please add <include>some/path to the BUILD variable on your
bjam command-line.  For example,
  bjam "-sBUILD=<include>/usr/local/foobar/include"  ...
