CI Job missing when using only: merge_requests

Summary

Using "only: merge_requests" in .gitlab-ci.yml for a stage make the job of the other stage not visible in the gitlab MR page.

Steps to reproduce

Use a .gitlab-ci.yml like this

stages:
  - checks
  - build

format:
  stage: checks
  script:
    - echo "check"

build:
  stage: build
  script:
    - echo "build"
  only:
    - merge_requests

And start a new merge request. The check job will not be visible in the MR page and it's falling will not prevent the MR to be accepted.

Example Project

What is the current bug behavior?

The non-"merge_requests only" stage are correctly run but not taken into account into MR pipeline.

What is the expected correct behavior?

Make the MR pipeline depends on non-"merge_quests only" stage
