This is what I saw as well.

I hacked together a shell script that looks for .siginfo files with the same package/arch/task but a different hash; if it finds these then it uses bitbake-diffsigs to compare them.

As for the sstate packages being overwritten, I assume this is happening in my case as I can see the packages being rebuilt in the bitbake output.

Hmm, then it could be unrelated to the general problem.

You didn't see this behaviour with your tk/sstate branch I presume?
