Not a bug. This is by design. Think about it: it is often those predecessors who
do the precondition logic.

if you have a target that needs to be conditional, have it explicitly depend on
the test (which it does, after all), and mark it as conditional. In your case,
you can make the build file do what you want, you just need to reorder things.
