I've found the bug:
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8411

I think that it has been fixed by:

https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8373

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=a0791c19db7d5b33ce7a4e3614a574ad4a319a84

I've tried the following commands with my patch:
$ . /workspace1/lyang1/poky/bitbake/bin/toaster start noweb
$ MACHINE=qemuppc bitbake quilt-native

The log is tmp/log/cooker/qemuppc/build_20180208_120722.942.log

$ MACHINE=qemux86 bitbake quilt-native

The log is tmp/log/cooker/qemux86/build_20180208_121605.382.log

And the log contents are correct.

So I think that we don't need preserve BB_CONSOLELOG anymore.
