Description of the bug:

Since 5.3, Bazel is hanging infinitely when something got evicted from remote execution cache with Build without Bytes enabled. Before 5.3 it was raising FileNotFoundException and there is a PR trying to use this behavior to overcome this issue of BwoB

What's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

I've created a repo with workspace and scenario reproducing this issue: https://github.com/k1nkreet/bazel-bwob-hanging-issue

Which operating system are you running Bazel on?

Linux archlinux 5.18.7-arch1-1
