Well, that is simple to solve. module.bbclasses sets

MODULES_INSTALL_TARGET ?= "modules_install"

just override that with your own install target. (Or fix the module's
Makefile). The last option is to simply override do_install in your
recipe.

I'd still recommend doing as little as possible in each recipe, and
leverage the standard modules.
