Thank you for your testing and observations.

But I'd like to point out that in my tests, all the relevant files
have already been fetched. My DL_DIR already contains everything to do
with bash, trace-cmd, and various others that I have been testing. The
errors I am getting are not fetching-related errors, but are errors
because do_rootfs can't find any packages (since packages relating to
the recently-appended recipes have not been built).

Somewhere in the guts of bitbake a modified IMAGE_INSTALL_append
variable is not being noticed; packages aren't being created (as I've
noticed) and sources aren't being downloaded (as you have just
noticed). But somehow do_rootfs is noticing the change and complaining
it can't find the necessary packages.
