Thanks for pointing out this, especially the first sentence in this paragraph. No matter how many times I've looked at both the recipes in question, as well as the meta/classes directory, I haven't noticed that the old, inherited recipes were not using module.bbclass, but rather inherited module-base.bbclass directly. I'll assume that once I change that, and fix the recipes properly all my issues will go away.

Once more, thanks for pointing me to the real problem.

Cheers,
Anders
