typo in the manual, unless I've got an out of date one:

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.5/kernel-dev/kernel-dev.html#creating-the-append-file


But unfortunately that has not changed anything, I'm afraid. I've tried a
build and it failed and then checked with "bitbake -e linux-raspberrypi"

The output from the -e gives the lines at the start of do_configure()

do_configure() {
	install -m 0644 /home/john/raspberrypi/poky/build/tmp/work/raspberrypi-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-raspberrypi/3.6.11+git63b69a8806ce1890711ff55280c90673ea415933-r7/git/arch/arm/configs/defconfig /home/john/raspberrypi/poky/build/tmp/work/raspberrypi-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-raspberrypi/3.6.11+git63b69a8806ce1890711ff55280c90673ea415933-r7/defconfig || die "No default configuration for raspberrypi / defconfig available."
	# Clean .config



As you can see the install command is hard wired to copy the config file from
the build tree as opposed to my-layer tree.
