Running included build task with --rerun fails

[blindpirate]

Current Behavior

If an included composite build is used as a plugin in root build, running <includedBuildTaskName> --rerun fails with

Cannot call TaskOutputs.upToDateWhen(Spec) on task ':build-logic:compileJava' after task has started execution.

See the reproducer below.

Expected Behavior

No failure.

Context (optional)

In short, --rerun configures the tasks in root project configuration phase, but because we requires the included build-logic as plugin, :build-logic:compileJava tasks finishes before the root project configuration phase - so we're trying to configure a task that already finishes execution.

Steps to Reproduce

$ ./gradlew build-logic:compileJava --rerun

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Cannot call TaskOutputs.upToDateWhen(Spec) on task ':build-logic:compileJava' after task has started execution.
