@jayconrod It seems more likely that this is caused by 7538c54 then by a Bazel commit (I checked the history and nothing stood out). I can also look into it though.

I'll try to reproduce the issue today and figure out what's going on.

Wild guess: Bazel@HEAD returns a fixed non-semver version string, which may throw off the feature detection.

[jayconrod]

@fmeum You were exactly right. It returns development version. The surprising thing was that we assume that means 6.0.0. #3893 should fix it.
