Description

See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/161149#issuecomment-5672650766

I suspect this is because I kicked off a second try build in very short succession after the first one, but not sure. Maybe GitHub was just having a bad day?

Reproduce the rapid successive try-build scenario if possible; done means identifying whether the error is spurious and adding a regression test or a clearly justified fix.
