Yes, that's what I found.

You can duplicate this with off-the-shelf Poky/Yocto.  Just disable x11
in local.conf
   DISTRO_FEATURES_remove = "x11"
Then you'll get this error:
   [gthomas at titan q_test]$ bitbake -e virtual/libx11
   Loading cache: 100% |##################################################################################| ETA:  00:00:00
   Loaded 1188 entries from dependency cache.
   ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'virtual/libx11'
   ERROR: libx11-diet PROVIDES virtual/libx11 but was skipped: missing required distro feature ['x11'] (not in DISTRO_FEATURES)
   ERROR: libx11 PROVIDES virtual/libx11 but was skipped: missing required distro feature ['x11'] (not in DISTRO_FEATURES)
   ERROR: nativesdk-libx11 PROVIDES virtual/libx11 but was skipped: missing required distro feature ['x11'] (not in DISTRO_FEATURES)

Should I file a bitbake bug?
