I just tested your method of putting the .bbappend file in the directory
above and it work just fine. I also found out that you should not put
the IMAGE_INSTALL in the local.conf. It builds okay, but the resulting
image will not boot. Tom pointing me the a statement in the Poky
reference manual about not doing this as well.
