Ok I figured it out. Actually two bugs are observed:

1. Retry_period not honoured
2. UP_FOR_RETRY tasks that with a dag_run that is marked failed are 
nevertheless executed.

The problem is a combination of 3 issues.

1. The dag_run is marked failed although a task is still in its 
retry_delay_period
2. A task does not check its own “retry_delay” as the task is set to “queued” 
by the scheduler and not “up_for_retry”
3. _execute_task_instance is called with “UP_FOR_RETRY” and “SCHEDULED”. This 
function pulls tasks directly from the database and does not check dependencies.

I think (for now) the fix is to:

1. Set tasks that are up_for_retry and out of their retry period to “SCHEDULED”
2. Update the call to _execute_task_instance to only allow “SCHEDULED” tasks
