Action not usable via a reusable workflow?

See original GitHub issue

Description: When using setup-go as a step in a reusable workflow, simple jobs such as go test fail.

Although GOROOT seems to be correctly set - I get results like below. As soon as as the step is removed, it works.

example calling workflow job

go-tests:
    uses: my-org/my-project/.github/workflows/go-tests.yml@go-tests
    with:
      go-version: "^1.17.0"

Expected behavior:

Go should behave normally in a shareable workflow using the action. I can remove the setup-go step and everything works perfectly with default runner Go installation.

Actual behavior:

As soon as I add the setup-go action rather than using the default runner version - I get failures like above

The action does seem to have set the right variables 🤷🏻
