I ran into something similar in a Makefile. There the problem was that 
the default sub shell used is /bin/sh and does not support the "source" 
command. Solution for the Makefile I used is like:

SHELL=/bin/bash

MY_VAR = $(shell source func_defs.sh && call_func 1 2)

So maybe do something like (untested):

bash -c 'source source func_defs.sh && call_func 1 2'

in the bitbake recipe. You obviously depend on bash-native for that recipe.

Hope this helps,
