I had also a bitbake failure after an error in an image and bitbake
exited without any information concerning the error (even when running
with -DDD I didn't managed to see a log - but I must admit I didn't
search in the whole history).

Basically I had :
XSERVER += "    <==== missing \
	xf86-input-tslib \
	"
and bitbake exit with :
ERROR: Command execution failed: Exited with 1
et nothing more.
