There is no reason that this should be the case.

The reason that you give in the text for this that if the distfile
already exists, then an interactive fetch would be attempted. 

However, this should never happen, since a fetch will not be actioned
if the distfile already exists.  This previous infrastructure did this
correctly - fetch short-circuiting - if this behaviour has been
changed recently, that is a regression.
