Bug Report: Build packs on Heroku are not fully applied if you specify the BUILDPACK_URL after creation

This is an issue I am having when trying to use a custom buildpack with Heroku. The intent of the buildpack is to update the version of ImageMagick on the heroku dyno which is over 2 years old.

Steps to Reproduce

# setup
git clone https://github.com/WilliamDenniss/heroku-im-test
cd heroku-im-test 

# setup App1 with the buildpack specificed on create
heroku create --stack cedar --buildpack https://github.com/WilliamDenniss/heroku-buildpack-ruby-imagemagick.git#imagemagick --app herokuimtest-buildpackstart --remote buildpackstart
git push buildpackstart master
# result: http://herokuimtest-buildpackstart.herokuapp.com/
# => ImageMagick 6.7.8-0 2012-06-30 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org

# setup App2 and configure the buildpack after creation
heroku create --stack cedar --app herokuimtest-buildpackafter --remote buildpackafter
git push buildpackafter master
# result: http://herokuimtest-buildpackafter.herokuapp.com/
# => ImageMagick 6.5.7-8 2010-12-02 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org

# update buildpack on App2 with the same buildpack from App1 and push an update to force the redeploy
heroku config:set "BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/WilliamDenniss/heroku-buildpack-ruby-imagemagick.git#imagemagick
" --app herokuimtest-buildpackafter
echo "1" >> Version.txt
git add Version.txt
git commit -m "version bump"
git push buildpackafter master
# result: build pack was picked up, and applied on deploy "-----> Fetching custom git buildpack... Switched to a new branch 'imagemagick'"
# result: http://herokuimtest-buildpackafter.herokuapp.com/
# => ImageMagick 6.5.7-8 2010-12-02 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org

Expected results

After updating the buildpack on the second app, both apps (the one created upfront with the buildpack, the one with the buildpack added later) should match.

Actual results

Despite setting the buildpack, the version of ImageMagick is still the old one from when the buildpack wasn’t applied.

Workaround

If you’re creating ImageMagick buildpacks for Heroku, you must spin up a new app every time you make changes to the buildpack to be certain they are applied.
