clean required after workaround to missing build file

[wolfgangmeyers]

As a follow up to #1075

In order to work around the problem, I can copy closure/library/closure_library.BUILD into my project. However this doesn't seem to take effect until bazel clean is run.

Steps to reproduce:

1. unzip the project code from https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/files/186571/missing_closure_library.zip
2. run bazel build //:main
3. Copy the build file from rules_closure (https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_closure/blob/master/closure/library/closure_library.BUILD) to closure/library
4. run bazel build //:main again. This build should fail with the same error message.
5. run bazel clean
6. run bazel build //:main a third time. This build should succeed.

Good find, we're not invalidating the BUILD file symlink.

The example doesn't work with current Bazel anymore. Is this still an issue?
