compile="true" configuration setting ignored when building 'by name'

[ghost]

Versions & Environment

• Polymer CLI: 1.3.1
• node: v6.10.1
• Operating System: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce

• Start with a command prompt in a new empty directory
• Execute a polymer init, choosing polymer-2-application (any application will do)
• Open polymer.json, and add a build configuration, to have in the end this result:

{
 "lint": {
   "rules": [
     "polymer-2"
   ]
 },
 "builds": [
    {
      "name": "test",
      "bundle": true,
      "js": {
        "minify": true,
        "compile": true
      },
      "css": {
        "minify": true
      },
      "html": {
        "minify": true
      }
    }
 ]
}

• Now, from the command line:
  polymer build
  Will produce the correct result (application compiled from ES6 to ES5, see build/test directory)
  polymer build --name test
  Will produce a wrong result (application NOT compiled from ES6 to ES5, see build/test directory)

This is the bare minimum scenario, of course, but any combination of build configurations and/or preset builds will exhibit this problem.
The only exception is when calling the build by preset, like in polymer build --preset es5-bundled, that creates the correct result.

I also hit what I presume is this problem recently when I had 👍

 20   "builds": [
 21     {
 22       "preset": "es5-bundled"
 23     },
 24     {
 25       "preset": "es6-bundled"
 26     },
 27     {
 28       "preset": "es6-unbundled"
 29     },
 30     {
 31       "name": "es5-unbundled",
 32       "js": {
 33         "minify": false,
 34         "compile": true
 35       },
 36       "css": {"minify": true},
 37       "html": {"minify": true},
 38       "addServiceWorker": true
 39     }

With this, polymer build --name es5-unbundled doesn't work (doesn't copy the service worker, for a start). Removing the presets so there is only es5-unbundled, works fine with polymer build.
