transient build error after 'Writing MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json'

I have not seen this before, which makes me think it is something new in the makefiles. But maybe it was a one-time fluke. When I ran 'make' again, it proceeded as normal.

My previous build was on pre-rebase 'next' at c1ece63. I did not try a 'make clean' in between, but I have since. I tried to reproduce it and I cannot. I am building on Ubuntu 12.04.

I do not see any significant differences in the Makefile between my last build point and this one.

Is this expected or easily explained?
