gitlab-runner GIT_SUBMODULE_FORCE_HTTPS

Question

I have an older version of gitlab-runner (gitlab-runner 11.10.1 (1f513601)). I am trying to force HTTPS usage for submodule cloning. In my gitlab-ci.yml file I have a couple variable lines that look like the following. In the log at the very bottom, it looks like gitlab-runner is still using SSH. Is there a bug in 11.10.1 that doesn't honor the GIT_SUBMODULE_FORCE_HTTPS setting?

variables:
    GIT_CLONE_PATH: $CI_BUILDS_DIR/$CI_CONCURRENT_ID/$CI_PROJECT_PATH/$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH
    GIT_STRATEGY: fetch
    GIT_DEPTH: 1
    GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: recursive
    CI_PROJECT: ""
    CI_COLLECT_COVERAGE: 0
    CI_WHO_LIST: ""
    CI_TESTLIST: regress_full_list
    GIT_SUBMODULE_FORCE_HTTPS: "true"

When my pipeline runs, I see this in the log:

Cloning into '/scratch01/fpga_ci7/builds/0/fpga/prime/topsim'...
remote: 
remote: ========================================================================
remote: 
remote: The project you were looking for could not be found or you don't have permission to view it.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
fatal: clone of 'git@gitXXX.XXXXX.com:fpga/topsim.git' into submodule path '/scratch01/fpga_ci7/builds/0/fpga/prime/topsim' failed
Failed to clone 'topsim'. Retry scheduled

You'd have much better luck reporting it as a (potential) issue here https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/-/issues/?sort=created_date&state=opened&search=GIT_SUBMODULE_FORCE_HTTPS&first_page_size=20 — Destroy666, Aug 17 '23 at 21:48
Well, please post it as an answer in that case, but not sure how useful "I forgot to upgrade my software" kind of question is in general. Ensuring software is up-to-date should be few steps before posting a question here. — Destroy666, Aug 18 '23 at 18:57
