Configuring experiments as "enable-record-ecosystem-meta=false" in dependabot@2 doesn't prevent associated logs to be displayed

[emmanwl]

Describe the bug
I run a dependabot@2 (2.40.1110) task and I am setting experiments to disable enable-record-ecosystem-meta by providing
experiments: 'enable-record-ecosystem-meta=false' as a task input.

In the task log, I still can see errors traces like:

• cli | *** | unexpected output type: record_ecosystem_data

• updater | *** | ERROR <job_update_0_npm_and_yarn_all> Failed to record ecosystem meta after 3 retries

I was supposing that disabling this experiment would result in not displaying those lines: the thing is those retries are time consuming from what I see.

Not sure this is a bug but I am missing something obviously.

I have done the same test by providing the V2 task a similar input (but using underscores between words instead of dashes since I found references to both in the documentation):
experiments: 'enable_record_ecosystem_meta=false' but it produces the same result.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Set experiments: 'enable-record-ecosystem-meta=false' as a dependabot@2 task input
2. Run the task, notice that the new experiments value(s) was/were correctly passed into parameter but that the "faulty" log lines remain.

Expected behavior
I would expect those log lines not to be displayed (and presumably the underlying retries not to be performed)
