If I remember correctly, the result of that would not be a failure 
during the build process, but instead a malformed manifest file will be 
generated in the output. I presume this would be detected by testing. 
But a new malformed file is unlikely, that this one survived as long was 
"thanks" to the old hotspot build that was specially written to handle it.
