I think this problem would be worked around by using uninstall-before-
install="true" in the JHBuild moduleset. I think it uses JHBuild's
database of installed files to be sure it really uninstalls everything,
rather than possibly-broken 'make uninstall'. It was originally added
for use by evolution-data-server, but I think nothing uses it now that
it was switched to CMake. Check gnome-suites-core-deps-3.22.modules for
example use.

Sebastian, does that fix it for you? If so, feel free to push the
change to the JHBuild repo.
