I'm pretty sure that this conflict is unlikely to cause problems in the
real world. :)

Yes, that's definitely the best solution.  For reference, pypi.bbclass does
this:

def pypi_package(d):
    bpn = d.getVar('BPN')
    if bpn.startswith('python-'):
        return bpn[7:]
    elif bpn.startswith('python3-'):
        return bpn[8:]
    return bpn

PYPI_PACKAGE ?= "${@pypi_package(d)}"
