Comment:

 Picked this issue up at random to look at.  Which is the desired behavior:
 1. Two developers clone same repository at same revision.  When they each
 build, the .xpi has the same hash.
 2. A single developer clones repository.  They build and get a .xpi with
 some hash.  If they build again, they get a .xpi with the same hash.

 I think (2) must be the desired behavior, because when you clone a
 repository, all the files have the times of when you cloned.  (1) would
 imply (2).
