In case it wasn't clear I'm actually doing something which is not recommended 
in meta-opie since it provides none of the protection of LIC_FILES_CHKSUM and 
no small amount of fragility, as we have discovered. Nobody should really be 
doing this if they can possibly avoid it, and if they are then they shouldn't 
be too surprised when things break.

FWIW, none of the recipes in OE-core itself (nor meta-oe for that matter) 
refer to files in the common license directory - I just checked.

This is a separate issue.

Cheers,
