Dupes won't build over hard materials

Normally, when queuing up a construction order, duplicants will dig out the necessary area first before building. However, this does not seem to happen anymore if the material to be dug is hard enough to require a skill to dig (granite, obsidian, abyssalite, etc.). Far more often than not, I'm having to do a dig order first, wait until that's done, and then do the build order. It's not game-breaking, but it's annoying and inconsistent.

Steps to Reproduce

Place building order over hard material tiles

Dupes will (almost always) ignore the order, no matter the priority

If you have dupes dedicated to just building and digging in the priorities this could be the cause.  A build of material is a "build" errand and not a "dig" errand.  If your hard digger can't build and your builder doesn't have the dig skill then that thing ain't getting built. (For some reason the game separates tasks like construction delivery and the actual construction, but not for dig/builds)  This explains why having doing the dig order, then doing the build order works because you might actually need 2 different dupes to complete the task.
