Created attachment 992 [details] 0001-package-test-add-test-recipes.patch.patch It's some sort of race condition, because it does not happen all the time, but often enough to be dangerous. The same happens between systemd/udev when both gets build (systemd is not preferred provider for udev). To reproduce use oe-core patch attached and run 'bitbake -k c', you can also 'bitbake -c cleansstate a b c' if it does not happen on first try.
