Cannot package due to intermediate files in source distribution (UE4.2.0)

I submitted a clean source distribution into Perforce and then tried to package our game for Windows.

I got “access denied” messages for the following files which I needed to remove from Perforce to get the packaging process to succeed:

Engine/Binaries/DotNET/AutomationTool.exe
Engine/Binaries/DotNET/DotNETUtilities.dll
Engine/Binaries/DotNET/DotNETUtilities.XML

I believe these are intermediate files being generated during packaging and should not be part of the source distribution.
