Sorry, no misuse, but wrong cause assumed by me.
CONFFILES_${PN}_micro should not be empty but contain nsswitch.conf
  and hostname as these are the only you allow to exist.

Would this work for you?
CONFFILES_${PN}_micro = "${sysconfdir}/hostname ${sysconfdir}/nsswitch.conf"

Even if nothing on your target is honoring the configness of these files at least it is documented.
