The Jamfile for coroutine contains:

lib boost_coroutine
????: detail/coroutine_context.cpp
??????exceptions.cpp
??????stack_traits_sources
????: <link>shared:<library>../../context/build//boost_context
??????<link>shared:<library>../../system/build//boost_system
??????<link>shared:<library>../../thread/build//boost_thread
????;

While the Jamfile for coroutine2 contains:

lib boost_coroutine2
????: 
????: <link>shared:<library>../../context/build//boost_context
????;

So, coroutine has some sources to link with, while coroutine2 does not.
Also, look at the config.hpp in coroutine2:

    #if (defined(BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK) ||
    defined(BOOST_COROUTINES2_DYN_LINK) ) && !
    defined(BOOST_COROUTINES2_STATIC_LINK)
    # if defined(BOOST_COROUTINES2_SOURCE)
    #??define BOOST_COROUTINES2_DECL BOOST_SYMBOL_EXPORT
    #??define BOOST_COROUTINES2_BUILD_DLL
    # else
    #??define BOOST_COROUTINES2_DECL BOOST_SYMBOL_IMPORT
    # endif
    #endif

    #if ! defined(BOOST_COROUTINES2_DECL)
    # define BOOST_COROUTINES2_DECL
    #endif

    #if ! defined(BOOST_COROUTINES2_SOURCE) && !
    defined(BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB) && ! defined(BOOST_COROUTINES2_NO_LIB)
    # define BOOST_LIB_NAME boost_coroutine
    # if defined(BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK) ||
    defined(BOOST_COROUTINES2_DYN_LINK)
    #??define BOOST_DYN_LINK
    # endif
    # include <boost/config/auto_link.hpp>
    #endif

For coroutine a library name is defined, for coroutine2 not.
