this step was missing clobber (which was original build step), so the
server was corrupted by running bootstrap-all twice, which is fixed by
adding clobber by default in bootstrap-all.

this is due to open bug (we can exclude these tests but we may have fix
soon on this) bootstrap-pe is just a option for getting quicklook
success status if that's what you were asking, so i specified this..
We cannot document such bugs or workarounds on build pages since these
are under development, and will be fixed soon..
so no change in basic instructions, we will get rid of "-pe" options
also once we have JKS fix available, so we are really in the transition
phase to V2 which will be fixed by Milestone 2.
