We now filter the pkgdata to the things a recipe can see in its
dependencies after:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=99206cb7b41be7a124ea8339bc891077f02128a2

Does that help? If not, is it because some code isn't using the
filtered copy? Or could we use this technique somewhere else?

I've not looked at the underlying issues enough to tell which code is
actually triggering it but that kind of approach should help with this
kind of problem and at least make it deterministic...

Cheers,
