Script, that turns on an already running script, hangs until that script finished

See original GitHub issue

The problem

Imagine the following scripts:

script_a:
  sequence:
  - delay:
      seconds: 0

script_b:
  sequence:
  - delay:
      seconds: 120

script_c:
  sequence:
  - delay:
      seconds: 0

script_d:
  sequence:
  - service: script.turn_on
    entity_id: script.script_a
  - service: script.turn_on
    entity_id: script.script_b
  - service: script.turn_on
    entity_id: script.script_c

If I just run script_d, then everything works as expected: all three “child” scripts are triggered and script_d finishes, script_a and script_c finish in a moment and script_b finishes in two minutes.

Now let’s run script_b first, wait for a few seconds and then run script_d. As expected, when script_d triggers script_b, nothing happens. because the script is already running:

2020-09-18 10:30:18 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.script.script_b] script_b: Already running

But instead of continuing to the next step, script_d hangs and starts to wait until the previous run of script_b finished! See the log below.
