meson sandbox violation when using wayland-protocols as a subproject

Steps to reproduce:

git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston.git
cd weston
mkdir -p subprojects/wayland-protocols
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols.git subprojects/wayland-protocols
meson setup build

fails with

Dependency wayland-protocols found: YES 1.31 (overridden)

protocol/meson.build:76:2: ERROR: Sandbox violation: Tried to grab file input-method-unstable-v1.xml from a nested subproject.
