I determined that this is a generic failure.  Observe this makefile,
adapted from the order-only test by removing the use of the order-only
feature.  This test should be added to the testsuite.

----------------------------------------
foo: bar baz
        @echo '$$^ = $^'
        @echo '$$? = $?'
        touch $@

.PHONY: baz

bar baz:
        touch $@
----------------------------------------

The output of 2nd run is the same for stock 3.79.1, and for the latest
pre-3.80:

----------------------------------------
touch baz
$^ = bar baz
$? = 
touch foo
----------------------------------------

I need to stop work on this for now.
