With 1.3 beta 20120905 build, this issue still happens.
adt_intaller from http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/milestones/yocto-1.3-beta/adt_installer-QA/

Steps:
1. download adt_installer.tar.bz2 from http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/milestones/yocto-1.3-beta/adt_installer-QA/
2. Install adt_installer: $ ./adt_installer
3. source /opt/poky/1.2+snapshot/environment-setup-armv5te-poky-linux-gnueabi
4. run "qemu-arm"

qemu-arm version 0.15.1, Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard
usage: qemu-arm [options] program [arguments...]
Linux CPU emulator (compiled for arm emulation)

Standard options:
-h                print this help
-version          display version information and exit
-g port           wait gdb connection to port
-L path           set the elf interpreter prefix (default=/usr/gnemul/qemu-arm)
-s size           set the stack size in bytes (default=8388608)
-cpu model        select CPU (-cpu ? for list)
-drop-ld-preload  drop LD_PRELOAD for target process
-E var=value      sets/modifies targets environment variable(s)
-U var            unsets targets environment variable(s)
-0 argv0          forces target process argv[0] to be argv0
-B address        set guest_base address to address
-R size           reserve size bytes for guest virtual address space

Debug options:
-d options   activate log (logfile=/tmp/qemu.log)
-p pagesize  set the host page size to 'pagesize'
-singlestep  always run in singlestep mode
-strace      log system calls

Environment variables:
QEMU_STRACE       Print system calls and arguments similar to the
                  'strace' program.  Enable by setting to any value.
You can use -E and -U options to set/unset environment variables
for target process.  It is possible to provide several variables
by repeating the option.  For example:
    -E var1=val2 -E var2=val2 -U LD_PRELOAD -U LD_DEBUG
Note that if you provide several changes to single variable
last change will stay in effect.

The adtrepo.yoctoproject.org and adtrepo-dev.yoctoproject.org do not contain the latest packages. So, they cannot be used. Until this is fixed, use a local repo. It will work.

the error still met in 1.3 M4 RC2 from below:
http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/pub/nightly/20120910-5/adt_installer-QA/adt_installer.tar.bz2

Beth and I took a look at this issue today, and we sure do still failing against M4 RC2 repo and it's fine against latest master, seems this commit fix the issue (http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=c8e3e0149a23ee7f1477a73821d09e68883d988a) so we probably need to respin M4 build for RC3

no such error in 1.3 M4 RC3 from below:
http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/pub/nightly/20120916-2/adt_installer-QA/adt_installer.tar.bz2

This was also related to bug #3083 which was fixed by the following patch:
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=c8e3e0149a23ee7f1477a73821d09e68883d988a

Together with the adtrepo changes, this issue does not happen anymore. Closing.

please refer to last comments for the commit
