It's good to hear that somebody can reproduce the problem.

It's a bit worse than "default enabled," as the build fails in the case that wayland is not installed (which could happen if the wayland option had always been disabled).

I suspect this is because the bulk builds use the default options settings, which results in other combinations of options not being tested. I suspect it may be this way because testing all the combinations of options (or even each option) would require more computational power than is available.
