Using the same project, and running gw asDeb --configuration-cache generates an HTML report (like e.g. file:///usr/local/google/home/gavra/AndroidStudioProjects/agp_r8_issue/build/reports/configuration-cache/71bxgz42iqmeflkzkeiz07rgj/exur7n03273b7z2r0b8e1z25h/configuration-cache-report.html), which indicates that ShaderCompile reads app/build/intermediates/merged_shaders/debug/out at configuration time.

The issue is

@InputFiles
    @IgnoreEmptyDirectories
    @PathSensitive(PathSensitivity.RELATIVE)
    @SkipWhenEmpty
    public FileTree getSourceFiles() {
        File sourceDirFile = getSourceDir().get().getAsFile();
        FileTree src = null;
        if (sourceDirFile.isDirectory()) {
            src = getProject().files(sourceDirFile).getAsFileTree().matching(PATTERN_SET);
        }
        return src == null ? getProject().files().getAsFileTree() : src;
    }

which should migrate to Provider.map {}.
