It does!  Sorry for the delay in replying.

It's a build race issue.  I managed to reproduce this locally by running
with -j 8 (but weirdly, not if I teed its output!).

That also explains why it works when you go to the failed directory and
run it manually.


Can you give this patch a try?

Once you confirm it works (fingers crossed), I'll include it in the
master branch and cut a new release (it's been a while and there are
other changes as well).

Thanks a lot!
