I've discovered that this is fixed in Denzil

https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1869

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=c4de612298266653130dd2e5b8378f62dda77e9f

I tested here and can report that the issue is resolved with that patch 
applied.

This patch has been applied to my josh/edison branch of the poky-contrib 
repository and should make it into the main edison branch, and a point 
release, in the near future.

Thanks for the report,

Joshua
