I eventually found that it goes away if I drop the @USER_VARIABLE flag. I had already dropped it from BRANDING_OS_VERSION and BRANDING_OS_VERSION_ID as baselayout will set these. It's not clear to me exactly when you should use this flag or why pkgcheck treats it differently, but I'm happy to just drop it.
