This issue seems like a duplicate of the more general #5636.

This problem also appears using a local config. This problem prohibits Gitlab CI from persisting the cache across jobs without a workaround

This env var works: BUN_INSTALL_CACHE_DIR (Windows + git bash; env var set via Windows settings.)

In case anyone wondered, the env var workaround mentioned above works for non-Windows as well (at least Mac, I'd assume Linux as well).
