I'm also not a lawyer, but for that exact reason I don't think we want to get 
into any question of license equivalence or similarity - INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE, 
if used, needs to list all of the licenses you wish to exclude, so if you want 
LGPLv3 excluded then you need to state that in addition to GPLv3 (and 
naturally any recipe that builds LGPLv3-licensed source needs to state as such 
in the LICENSE value).

Cheers,
Paul
