Thanks for your great help.  A native recipe is what I needed with data in it 
only.  So my native recipe copies files into ${D}${datadir}/${PN}.

Then my image build uses DEPENDS= to bring in the native recipe.

Then my IMAGE_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND can reference 
${STAGING_DATADIR_NATIVE}/[native recipe name] to find the data it needs.

Then I don't need to patch the bbclass file.

 From first glance, I'd guess that the approach is just not correct. If 
that thing to be fetched also needs to go *into* the image: make it a 
recipe on its own. If you only need it during build time, then it should 
probably be a -native dependency, and therefore again a recipe on its 
own. Then the image recipe can depend on it and use its contents during 
the build/postprocess stage.
