That does make sense. Ignoring "${COREBASE}/meta" will also ignore
most layers unpacked or cloned within the poky directory as their
names start with "meta". However that does miss layers if you use a
different directory structure which is what Peter's patch addresses
(though I'm still not sure if there's an actual build failure with
some layers which it is intended to fix or if it's just to make things
consistent).
The issue comes when you clone a layer as the top-level of your
working tree and build within that. That's how I work with
meta-sancloud & meta-linux-mainline. It's also what happens if you
build using the kas config in meta-raspberrypi. So it's not uncommon.
Investigating why the layer directories are being ignored I found this
commit added the ignore of "${COREBASE}/meta":

bitbake.conf: Extend PSEUDO_IGNORE_PATHS to ${COREBASE}/meta
Unfortunately, .pyc files can be generated in meta/lib/oe
which corrupt the pseudo
database so we need to extend the ignore list to cover this as well.

Could we instead ignore "${LAYERDIR}/lib" for each layer?
An alternative would be to detect the case where TOPDIR or TMPDIR is
beneath an entry in BBLAYERS and handle that as a special case.
