Looks like it was because the failed build I wanted to rerun failed parsing the Jenkinsfile (ie before running the *checkout scm*) and didn't record an SCM revision. Using the rerun on a build with a revision recorded seems to work. Have subsequently found this note <https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/development/#limitations> in the official doc book. Pity because failure in this case could be due to declaring an *option* without having installed the plugin that provides it (such as *timestamps*).
