Hello,

I think this can be solved by adding unpack=0 to SRC_URI, and then
adding a custom task that runs between unpack and patch that extracts
the tarball with a special procedure. Tarballs can contains all kinds
of esoteric problems like this one, I don't think bitbake should try
to accommodate them.
