I misunderstood the issue then.. I thought what was being described was..

task-sdk-host.bb had a task-sdk-host.bbappend

task-qte-toolchain-host.bb requires task-sdk-host..

building task-sdk-host "worked", building "task-qte-toolchain-host" didn't.  If
that's not the case... then Chris is correct.. this is as designed.  a bbappend
only affects the item being appended.
