      Workflow 1.10

      Parent job code:

      for(int i = 0; i < 15; i++) {
          build job: 'test_job', quietPeriod: 0, wait: false
      }
      

      Downstream job code:

      node {
       println "DOWNSTREAM JOB"
      }
      

      This results in randomly receiving the following error in the downstream jobs:

      Started by upstream project "test_parent" build number 19

      I had originally mentioned this here https://goo.gl/fHwwUQ but I narrowed it down to this small code example which exhibits the error.
