I believe that was done on purpose to support doing a 'make check' at 
the top of the autotest directory and only parallelize the tests which 
can run at the same time (non-gui tests typically).

This probably is then reflected in the build as well.

This is a jom issue, not Qt.

That's because qtscripttools was qmaked before qtscript, so qtscript's 
PRL file was not available. In QtScript run 'qmake -r' and try building 
again.

Yes, rerunning jom will not trigger a re-qmake, which is the only way to 
correct the problem.

You won't get these errors if you build it with the _supported_ nmake 
method.
