install-app-deps run as a package.json script fails with yarn >= v0.24.0-0.24.4

See original GitHub issue

Version: 17.5.0

Target: OSX

When running install-app-deps from a script field in package.json with yarn, it fails in some cases. NPM runs it fine, and older versions of yarn run it fine. Here is an example:

bret-zh:vneck bret$ yarn run postinstall:app-deps
yarn run v0.24.0
$ install-app-deps
