In JDK-8318913, the symbolgenerator started to look at current sources as well. This means that the gensrc stage needs to be completed before this is run. A dependency was added for jdk.compiler-gendata, but unfortunately the same tool is run also in jdk.javadoc-gendata, where no such safeguard was created.

The result is that the build can fail intermittently with:
.../module-info.java:77: error: module not found on module source path
module java.base {
^
error: cannot access module-info
  cannot resolve modules
