"make -j5 clean" breaks subsequent build

linux-2.6.25-rc6:

$ while make -j5 clean all; do :; done

will eventually fail in make all due to target files not found. The files differ from failure to failure.

$ while make clean && make -j5 all; do :; done

works fine in the very same source tree. Happens on two different dual core PCs and different filesystems. I have not yet tested if any other linux versions are affected.

(This has to be a known issue; isn't it?)
