Yeah, it's a limitation of the AddBootModuleSymlinksToHaikuImage rule ATM.
It has to be called after the rule adding the module to the image. It
shouldn't be too complicated to lift the limitation, though.
An alternative I am considering is the introduction of rules that can be
defined in UserBuildConfig and will be invoked at a later point. E.g. one
that would be invoked after the Jamfile tree has been processed, but before
HaikuImage, and another one invoked in HaikuImage right before the image is
finalized. AddBootModuleSymlinksToHaikuImage could then be invoked in the
second rule.
