machine_image :destroy action doesn't remove the AMI or the snapshot

[irvingpop]

Given the following code

machine_image 'irving-windows-image' do
  action :destroy
end

it only removes the data bag entry, doesn't delete the AMI and associated Snapshot as you'd expect:

I know this was working as expected at one point in time.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say it was caused by 12596ab9365db4566be3bc9a6214e72d69966699.
