Inconsistent inference results affecting `redefined-variable-type` messages

[jacobtylerwalls]

next on the list of offending messages(*) causing primer noise:

(*) likely nothing wrong with the message, just something wrong with inconsistent inference results

compare:

pylint music21 --enable=redefined-variable-type --disable=all --enable-all-extensions

to:

pylint music21 --enable=redefined-variable-type,no-member --disable=all --enable-all-extensions

Fixed in #9887. Thanks @akamat10!!

[akamat10]

No problem! Correction: Fixed in pylint-dev/astroid#2572

[jacobtylerwalls]

Interesting. I reverted #9887 and it reproduced the issue for me.

[akamat10]

Interesting! It also makes sense since it was causing non-deterministic behavior. pylint-dev/astroid#2572 addressed issue with errors caused by cache not clearing from previous repos in the primer run.

[jacobtylerwalls]

Right, I was alerted to this by the primer, but the reproducer above doesn't involve the primer or cache clearing.
