Just a few minutes ago I was wondering if such a feature did exist...
I ran into a situation where I wanted to remove something from a .bbappend

My understanding is that a _subtract is fraught with danger, there all
sorts of ordering implications.
For what you are trying to do in a .bbappend, can be done by using
oe_filter_out() from utils.bbclass, it has to be done in anonymous code.
VARIABLE := "${@oe_filter_out('xxx', '${VARIABLE}', d)}"
This might be what you want.
There are two issues I believe Peter is having.. the first is trying to figure
out how to filter stuff out of _append. I'm sure sure the above will be able to
do that.
But the real problem we keep struggling with is .conf load order.. you try to
set some nice value in local.conf, and some later configuration file adds to it,
or simply overwrites it. He'd like a way to strip out things like that.
I suspect the real answer though is fix the various configuration settings to
better allow them to be overridden, but I'm not sure exactly how.

There's a few cases where something is a huge list of space-separated

afflicting me is DISTRO_FEATURES_LIBC_DEFAULT; I want to end up with
the distro features including all but one of the words in it.
It seems to me that a counterpart to _append would make sense. Here
is my basic idea:
FOO_subtract = "..."
means that, when you expand FOO:
1. Fully expand it.
2. Fully expand FOO_subtract.
3. Remove any words in FOO_subtract from FOO.
4. Yield the result.
The rationale is that the semantics of things where we're using _append
seem to be consistently of the form "this is a space-separated set",
and being able to remove things from a set would be Super Handy.
So I'm proposing the semantics for consideration, and if people like
them, I will go try to implement it in my Copious Free Time.

Listen, get this. Nobody with a good compiler needs to be justified.
