I put 

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/commit/?h=rpurdie/t222&id=74b7df6ff73764e108bd81e05835c8a7d134c187

together to fix this. Its not a bug since the tests modify meta-
selftest and therefore when running in parallel, we create copies of
that layer per build directory.

I do think we should start using the separate build directory always
for oe-selftest for consistency though. It would also make ensuring
some things like rm_work disabled easier.

Cheers,

Richard
