EXTRA_OEMAKE handling is implemented as

| ${MAKE} ${EXTRA_OEMAKE} "$@"

but EXTRA_OECONF as

| cfgcmd="... ${EXTRA_OECONF} $@"
| $cfgcmd


'make' arguments are expanded by bitbake which preserve the quoting.

The EXTRA_OECONF content was put into a shell variable and this variable
be executed.  This does not preserve quoting (and I am not aware of any
way how this can be with variable assignments).

It is not a configure issue, but a shell one.
