I've been reading more about bitbake and openembedded (you guys sure wrote a
lot of excellent documentation!) and I learned how to turn on debugging and
verbose, and I think now I see the problem:

   $ bitbake  -b ../org.openembedded.dev/packages/foo/foo_0.1.bb -c build -D -v
   DEBUG: CONF ...
   NOTE: package foo-0.1: started
   DEBUG: Executing task do_unpack
   NOTE: package foo-0.1-r0: task do_unpack: started
   NOTE: Unpacking /usr/local/openembedded/build/tmp/work/armv4t-linux/foo-0.1-r0
   to /usr/local/openembedded/build/tmp/work/armv4t-linux/foo-0.1-r0/
   cp: cannot copy a directory,
   `/usr/local/openembedded/build/tmp/work/armv4t-linux/foo-0.1-r0', into itself,
   `/usr/local/openembedded/build/tmp/work/armv4t-linux/foo-0.1-r0/./foo-0.1-r0'
   NOTE: Task failed:

Aha! It seems to think that the source directory for the files is my work directory.
