Searched high-and-low for this, but couldn't find anything.

How to reproduce:

1. Create a freestyle project.
2. Set the project to check out from a bogus github repo that you can never reach.
3. Add a credentials binding for the job (in my case, Separated Username and Password).
4. Add a simple post-build step via the PostBuildScript Plugin to use the credentials defined in #3 (such as echo-ing the credentials).
5. Execute the job.
6. Set the project to check out from a legitimate github repo that you can access.
7. Re-execute the job.

Actual:

5. Post-build step can't use the credentials as they're empty.
7. Post-build step can use the credentials as they're not empty.

Expected:

Post-build step should still have access to the credentials, even if the scm step fails.
