Docker build cache broken after v24.0.7 when building "ltsc2019/1809" Windows container images on Windows 11

[pbering]

Description

Docker Desktop 4.27.x was release which now comes with Docker Engine v25.0.2, previous version 4.26.1 came with Docker Engine v24.0.7.

Using Docker Engine v25.0.2 to build images based on ltsc2019/1809 Windows container images breaking the build cache and nothing is cache or it is never used.

Reproduce

Using this Dockerfile:

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:ltsc2022

RUN echo "hello"

run docker image build . and you get expected first build output:

Sending build context to Docker daemon  2.048kB
Step 1/2 : FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:ltsc2022
 ---> e2547c7dd84d
Step 2/2 : RUN echo "hello"
 ---> Running in 7e39ef7bbc05
"hello"
 ---> Removed intermediate container 7e39ef7bbc05
 ---> b8baf9fb556c

run docker image build . again and you get expected build output where the RUN statement is cached:

Sending build context to Docker daemon  2.048kB
Step 1/2 : FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:ltsc2022
 ---> e2547c7dd84d
Step 2/2 : RUN echo "hello"
 ---> Using cache
 ---> b8baf9fb556c
Successfully built b8baf9fb556c

Now change the image to use ltsc2019:

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:ltsc2019

RUN echo "hello"

run docker image build . and you get expected first build output:

Sending build context to Docker daemon  2.048kB
Step 1/2 : FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:ltsc2019
 ---> 82ef3885248c
Step 2/2 : RUN echo "hello"
 ---> Running in 3c6de6846b97
"hello"
 ---> Removed intermediate container 3c6de6846b97
 ---> f55e40c44f69
Successfully built f55e40c44f69

run docker image build . yet again and now you can see the RUN statement is NOT CACHED:

Sending build context to Docker daemon  2.048kB
Step 1/2 : FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/nanoserver:ltsc2019
 ---> 82ef3885248c
Step 2/2 : RUN echo "hello"
 ---> Running in 3c6de6846b97
"hello"
 ---> Removed intermediate container 3c6de6846b97
 ---> f55e40c44f69
Successfully built f55e40c44f69

Expected behavior

Building ltsc2019/1809 images should use the build cache as it did before on v24.0.7.
