Docker Images Remote Cache Control Issue Reproduction

This repository reproduces an issue in which the flag --experimental_allow_tags_propagation apparently doesn't propagate the no-cache / no-remote-cache to actions used by the container_image rule.
I first reported this issue here.

I used the following command, followed by bazel clean several times to reproduce the issue and created a chrome tracing profile (see: profile.json.gz) in which remote-cache activity can be observed clearly.

bazel build //... --remote_cache=http://localhost:8080/cache --experimental_allow_tags_propagation --profile=profile.json.gz --experimental_generate_json_trace_profile

This issue reproduces on Bazel 1.0.0, 1.0.1 and 1.1.0.
