I think there is a bug in kernel.bbclass. This should fix it:

diff --git a/meta/classes/kernel.bbclass b/meta/classes/kernel.bbclass
index aaf341b..9f09107 100644
--- a/meta/classes/kernel.bbclass
+++ b/meta/classes/kernel.bbclass
@@ -119,7 +119,7 @@ kernel_do_install() {
        # Support for external module building - create a minimal copy of the
        # kernel source tree.
        #
-       kerneldir=${STAGING_KERNEL_DIR}
+       kerneldir=${D}/kernel
        install -d $kerneldir
 
        #

I'll merge something like this is nobody objects.

Cheers,
