Bitbake "addtask deploy after do_install" not working from image recipe

Question

I have some recipes that add a deploy task after installation using addtask deploy after do_install.

This always worked as expected, however after an update to Poky Kirkstone, the behavior seems changed.

Observed behavior:

• When executing bitbake recipe-name both do-install and do_deploy are executed.
• When the recipe is built via the image recipe, do_install is executed, however do_deploy is not.

Peforming a bitbake -c clean recipe-name before the image build has no effect.

When I check the log directory for the recipe (which contains symlinks to the latest log file), the symlink to run.do_deploy is not updated either (when building the image). In case only the recipe is built, the do_deploy symlink is updated. So the task is really not executed when building via the image recipe.

Somebody has a clue what might be wrong here?
