[yocto] Strange sstate problem

I'm building for two similar targets and sharing sstate between
them.  Actually, I build for target A and use that sstate cache
in my SSTATE_MIRRORS for target B.

If I try to build target B from scratch, i.e. wipe out most
everything from my build tree:
   % mv cache sstate-cache tmp old2; rm -fr old&
I also have a PR server for each target - in local.conf:
   PRSERV_HOST = "localhost:0"

When I build in target B, I'm getting a ton of QA errors, basically
one for every package selected, e.g.
   ERROR: QA Issue: Package version for package fsl-alsa-plugins went backwards which would break package feeds from (0:1.0.25-r0.2 to 0:1.0.25-r0.0) [version-going-backwards]

What could be going on here?

n.b. I'm using a fairly recent Poky/Yocto master (a05663bfa10352fd5af6ca9a9d7b323c1c099f35)
