How to make this do_deploy machine overrides work?

I'm trying to understand why the below code doesn't work. From bitbake -e it would seem that task do_deploy is empty. I'm using Yocto gatesgarth.

addtask deploy after do_install before do_build

do_deploy_MACHINE-A () {
    bbinfo "Doing something for machine A"
}

do_deploy_MACHINE-B () {
    bbinfo "Doing something for machine B"
}

I tried adding:

do_xyz() {
    echo 1
}

do_xyz:qemux86-64() {
    echo 2
}

to the bash.inc file, then running "bitbake-getvar -r bash do_xyz" with MACHINE = "qemux86-64" I see:

# line: 133, file: /xxx/meta/recipes-extended/bash/bash.inc
do_xyz() {
    echo 2
}

This is with master where bitbake-getvar is available and overrides use the ":" character. Your branch may vary but it does appear to work.
