I also started receiving this error about a week ago, my path is as follows:

[jack at archHP r0005]$ echo "${PATH}"
/home/jack/Projects/poky-denzil.git/scripts:/home/jack/Projects/poky-denzil.git/bitbake/bin/:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin/core_perl

However (from what I can see) this doesn't feature the issue mentioned?
