They are indeed not relevant to the changes here. They are detected as
changing because the derivations do change, but that's because they
change every time you try and compute them, rather than changing as a
result from the patches here.

I think a way to avoid this would be to have the error happen earlier,
so rather than waiting until you try and build the derivation, try to
detect that the builder script can't be read when it's being created. I
can't see an easy way to do that, but I've filed an issue about it:
