Note: I noticed that EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES is only set in a few Yocto
images (no default/fallback), so I added
   EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES ?= ""
to $DISTRO.conf and the syntax error went away.

I guess there must be some difference inside bitbake that manages
to ignore unset variables when expanding, but not in this case?
