Comment (by anevilyak):

 I've run into something similar before, and I believe the behavior being
 described essentially boils down to: multi-job build is downloading a
 package with the intent of extracting it. Meanwhile, another parallel
 build step fails (i.e. a source file with a compilation error due to an
 incorrect commit).

 As such, the package gets downloaded but not extracted, but seemingly, the
 destination folder for it has been created. The latter's existence appears
 to be the dependency the build system relies on to know whether to
 download/extract the package, and consequently that step is skipped
 entirely without extracting the package at all, leading to a later build
 failure due to missing headers or whatnot from said build package.
