If the recipe does not exist the error returned looks like below:
[lserban@localhost build]$ bitbake -b sstest_
WARNING: Buildfile specified, dependencies will not be handled. If this is not what you want, do not use -b / --buildfile.

This bug was fixed in 1.2 as part of the error handling overhaul work. I'm not sure it makes sense to backport this to 1.1 unless there are specific requests from the community for it. I checked and master does not have this issue.
