Filing an issue SGTM.
FYI: The 'as' part gives a temporary(?) name to an intermediate output
image. This output may then be referenced as the base-image in further
`FROM` or `COPY` lines in the Dockerfile. In other words, it gives you
a bit more control over cache and/or helps when building multiple images
in a single Dockerfile.
So...this temporary(?) name should never, ever, ever be pulled from a
remote registry server. It's a local-only name.

TBH, I have no idea how this flaked. I'm not able to reproduce the
failure, even when restoring to shenanigans like wiping out container
storage mid-build.
