Well, I've done some further progress. Something is broken with how the 
resource deltas are being calculated. (Maybe the makefile builder works 
because it doesn't rely on resource deltas.)

As far as I've been able to pin down, the method 
ResourceDeltaFactory#computeDelta() returns a valid, but empty, delta. I 
 tried to dig deeper, but my knowledge of resource deltas is not good 
enough to actually be able to make anything out of it.
