Fails to open build shell after build failure

I have a local workspace open for WebKit, and have modified it such that it fails to build. BuildStream gives me an interactive prompt to decide what to do, and I decide I want a shell:

Build failure on element: core-deps/WebKit.bst

Choose one of the following options:
  (c)ontinue  - Continue queueing jobs as much as possible
  (q)uit      - Exit after all ongoing jobs complete
  (t)erminate - Terminate any ongoing jobs and exit
  (r)etry     - Retry this job
  (l)og       - View the full log file
  (s)hell     - Drop into a shell in the failed build sandbox

Pressing ^C will terminate jobs and exit

Choice: [continue]: s

Problem is it opens a runtime shell, not a build shell. I have no access to the build directory and no ability to do anything useful inside the shell. Surely that's not correct?

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
