The problem is that with /Za you can't compile <windows.h> (or at least not last time I checked), there is also an assumption that libraries are compiled with the same options as your code, I appreciate that in some limited cases that isn't always a requirement, but it usually is....
Yesterday, I was looking through the 1.30.2 distribution in order to find out what the options were that bjam selected for the vc7.1 build, I found it a bit of a pain, perhaps it would be useful to make this a FAQ along with a note about ensuring you have selected the right compiler from the command line before bjam'ing (by running vcvars32.bat). Searching the web site didn't give many answers only hints, and I knew what was needed to fix the problem I had - the errors are not always that useful from the compiler :-) Perhaps there is some magic bjam invocation needed to output the CFLAGS so that the FAQ doesn't get out of sync with the version of boost.
