Not that I have an objection to your patch, but I think this remark
about COMPATIBLE_MACHINE is wrong.  AFAIK, you can disregard the
parenthesis and just splice extra alternates on the end, viz:

COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_append = "|mymachine"

so there oughtn't to be any reason, in general, for .bbappends to have a
hard time extending that field.
