That sounds strange. Did you use bitbake -e | less to see where your non- forcevariable setting was being overridden? More than likely you have a layer or some other configuration you're bringing in and that's simply setting it with = at some point later in parsing than local.conf. The history of the BBMASK variable shown through bitbake -e will tell you exactly where that is.
