Describe the bug

In my local build, I'm using the Gatsby API (v3.x) to cache data during the build process. (https://www.gatsbyjs.com/docs/build-caching/)

I see that after a successful build the data is added to the cache. When the subsequent build occurs, the logs say that Netlify/Gatsby found a previous cache. However, the value I set in the cache during the previous build is null.

Any ideas what might not be working or if this use case is supported?

Steps to reproduce

1. Update Gatsby cache during the createPage and onPostBootstrap lifecycle.
2. Confirm that build is successful
3. Build again and debug the cache.
4. Cache for value added in step #1 is empty/null.

Example:

1. Type the following command: [...]
2. etc.
