It would be interesting to understand why gstreamer considers that the
registry needs to be rebuild if the installations are identical. Can you
try to do a shell login and then GST_DEBUG="*:5" gst-inspect 2>debug.log
and if the registry got rebuild file a bug and attach the log.

There is and env var and a command-line parameter for it, but it would
be good to figure out the why.
