I've seen that issue twice in my own (non-parallel) daily builds (on Dec
4 and 5). I don't know what causes it. It was occurring before your
change too. But perhaps something has made it happen more frequently,
since it just happened twice in a row on hydra. There must be some bug
somewhere in autoload-generate-file-autoloads. Maybe add some debugging
code so we can see what happens.

hydra builds aren't daily, they are whenever the system has capacity.
It checks for new commits every 5 mins (IIUC) and if there are changes
it does a build. But it is often overloaded.
