Ok, I found the problem: PREFERRED_VERSION refers to PV inside
the recipe, not to the part of the filename after '_'.
As I tinker with PV inside the recipe, bitbake is actually correct
that a PV 'githead' is not available for linux-taurus.

All variables which are typically set by the filename can be
overridden. Those are simply defaults. See the definitions of PN, PV,
and PR in bitbake.conf.
Yes, I knew that (I actually wrote the line changing the PV myself).
What surprised me (though it makes sense) that PREFERRED_VERSION
refers to PV, and not directly to a part of the filename.
It's probably still too much of 'make' history in my brain...
