Some auto-installed library do not compile, but adding this library manually do the trick

Configuration

Operating system: linux

PlatformIO Version (platformio --version): 3.3.1, tested on 3.0.4b12 also

Description of problem

Some automatically installed libraries do not compile, but they do compile normally if place them in "lib" dir manually.
My project uses "espressif8266" platform, but I don't think it matters.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create empty project, add to environment config: lib_deps = https://github.com/Imroy/pubsubclient.git
2. Get from this library example folder "mqtt_basic.ino" file and place it in platformio project sources dir
3. Try to run project

Actual Results

error while compiling

Compiling .pioenvs/board/src/mqtt_basic.ino.o
Archiving .pioenvs/board/libFrameworkArduinoVariant.a
sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
Indexing .pioenvs/board/libFrameworkArduinoVariant.a

Expected Results

compilation completes with no errors

If problems with PlatformIO Build System:

looks like it is, some logs in "actual results"

The content of platformio.ini:

[platformio]

[env:board]
platform = espressif8266
framework = arduino
board = esp01
lib_deps = https://github.com/Imroy/pubsubclient/archive/master.zip
upload_port = /dev/ttyUSB0
targets = upload

Source file to reproduce issue:
mqtt_basic.txt

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <PubSubClient.h>

const char *ssid =	"xxxxxxxx";		// cannot be longer than 32 characters!
const char *pass =	"yyyyyyyy";		//

// Update these with values suitable for your network.
IPAddress server(172, 16, 0, 2);

void callback(const MQTT::Publish& pub) {
  // handle message arrived
}

WiFiClient wclient;
PubSubClient client(wclient, server);

void setup() {
  // Setup console
  Serial.begin(115200);
  delay(10);
  Serial.println();
  Serial.println();

  client.set_callback(callback);
}

void loop() {
  if (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    Serial.print("Connecting to ");
    Serial.print(ssid);
    Serial.println("...");
    WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);

    if (WiFi.waitForConnectResult() != WL_CONNECTED)
      return;
    Serial.println("WiFi connected");
  }

  if (WiFi.status() == WL_CONNECTED) {
    if (!client.connected()) {
      if (client.connect("arduinoClient")) {
	client.publish("outTopic","hello world");
	client.subscribe("inTopic");
      }
    }

    if (client.connected())
      client.loop();
  }
}

Additional info

The main misunderstanding is that if I place the same library to project "lib" directory and remove "lib_deps" from environment config - everything will compiles just great without any errors

Thanks a lot for a report!
