My immediate thought was add:

PREMIRRORS = ""

to your ostree recipe - there's an old copy of the source sitting in
the yocto mirrors and the gitsm fetcher doesn't update the submodules
correctly, but looking at the error, I'm not sure if that's actually
your problem.

I'm a couple of upstream patches away from an ostree recipe that's I
think should be in a fit state to go into meta-oe:
