Makes sense but it is unfortunate.

When bitbake sees the extend, it generates a new recipe which uses the
tasks as the same provided by the original .bb file. When it has a
'class-nativesdk' override of a task, this one is used, the same is
valid for class-native.
You can grep 'class-nativesdk' in Poky/OE-Core for some examples of this.
