I debugged this a bit.

sourcepkg.bbclass contains the lines :

s_tree_raw = s.split('/')[1]
s_tree = bb.data.expand(s_tree_raw, d)

where s is S in unexpanded form. The first line assumes that S looks like
"${WORKDIR}/foo". This fails for shasum because S is "${WORKDIR}" there.

However I think that the whole approach taken by sourcepkg does not work: For
instance sometimes 'source packages' are distributed as ZIP files containing
binaries and another zip with the source included (e.g. the Eclipse foundation
is so kind to do it this way).

So whenever a recipe needs a custom unpack step to reach its sources and S is
not literally the source code directory the approach taken by sourcepkg fails.
