Also, it does seem that "bitbake -e -b ..." really is broken.  I get:

ERROR: Command execution failed: Traceback (most recent call last):

    for _, _, regex, pri in self.status.bbfile_config_priorities:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'bbfile_config_priorities'

Using an absolute path to the .bb file doesn't seem to help in this
case, and I also verified that it does build successfully without the
-e.
