Package files are randomly filled with \u{0}

[SkyfallWasTaken]

Problem

What I expected to happen:
No errors
What actually happened:
Depedency files are randomly filled with \u{0}, causing the build to fail. The file cannot be opened in an editor due to invalid encoding.

This is what the error looks like:

error[E0601]: `main` function not found in crate `build_script_build`
 --> C:\Users\Mahad\.cargo\registry\src\github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823\crunchy-0.2.2\build.rs:1:6600
  |
1.| 
  | ^ consider adding a `main` function to `C:\Users\Mahad\.cargo\registry\src\github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823\crunchy-0.2.2\build.rs`

Steps

No response

Possible Solution(s)

No response

Notes

The bug is quite rare, and afaik there is no correlation between the two errors (the last one was for diff)

Are you using Powershell by any chance?

[SkyfallWasTaken]

Yep!

[eminence]

@gimbles can you say why you asked about PowerShell? I'm wondering if maybe you've seen something like this before, and PowerShell was somehow related

This might be somehow related to #9455?

This is a duplicate of #8242. Close in favor of that. Thank you.
