I've tested it against 5.5.1, but it is the same behavior with 5.4 and 5.6 installers.

Description
When creating a project structure
project.pro (subdirs)
|-- src.pro (subdirs)
|-- lib1.pro (lib)
|-- lib2.pro (lib)
|-- plugins.pro (subdirs)
|-- plugin1.pro (lib)
|-- plugin2.pro (lib)

and trying to produce a MSVC solution as out-of-source build, the subprojects are not found and not added to the root solution file.
The reason seems to be that the *.vcxproj are produced in the build folder but qmake is looking for them in the source folder. If running the generation inside the source folder, everything works perfectly.
Attached is a small example to reproduce the issue. Just run the commands:
mkdir build && cd build qmake -tp vc -spec win32-msvc2013 -r ..\qmake_msvc_generator\project.pro
as out of source build and you will see warnings like this:
WARNING: Ignored (not found) 'D:/projects/tests/qmake_msvc_generator/samples/sample1\sample1.vcxproj' WARNING: Ignored (not found) 'D:/projects/tests/qmake_msvc_generator/samples/sample2\sample2.vcxproj' WARNING: Ignored (not found) 'D:/projects/tests/qmake_msvc_generator/src/plugins/plugin1\plugin1.vcxproj' WARNING: Ignored (not found) 'D:/projects/tests/qmake_msvc_generator/src/plugins/plugin2\plugin2.vcxproj' WARNING: Ignored (not found) 'D:/projects/tests/qmake_msvc_generator/src/tools/tool1\tool1.vcxproj' WARNING: Ignored (not found) 'D:/projects/tests/qmake_msvc_generator/src/tools/tool2\tool2.vcxproj'
As you can see it is looking into the wrong folder.
