There is a race where do_clean tries to clean WORKDIR but there are logfiles written into ${T} by bitbake and this can lead to exceptions due to open files.

The easiest solution is to redirect T to a different location for the do_clean task, hence avoiding the errors and also allowing the logfiles to be visible somewhere. ${LOG_DIR} seems an appropriate place for this.

[YOCTO #2846]

Cheers Richard, this does the trick!
