[JENKINS-30300] Unable to specify a branch to build when using parameterized job with multiple branches

When having a job that is configured to build multiple branches, it is impossible to use the paramatized build to run a particular job. Instead the latest branch is build.

If I have a job that builds "origin/master", "origin/release" and "origin/$branch" (for the parameter), and I try build "origin/potato", then the last built branch always builds, not the one I specify in the parameter.
