After bisecting, I found that yes, this is now expected behavior: 
https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/commit/?id=568f62214bca3ac6d35eef8d9f4562596fb4c9ab

Basically, that commit removes the recursive dependency on the packaging tasks. 
Using ‘bitbake --runall build ...’ as suggested in the commit does provide the 
behavior I want. For me, this is only an issue when building my package feeds. 
It seems that the documentation for the package feeds should be updated to 
reflect this change. Unless I missed something, if you follow the docs you end 
up with a broken feed that is missing a lot of needed packages.

I can probably write something up if needed. I think just a paragraph 
explaining it in this section somewhere:
https://docs.yoctoproject.org/singleindex.html#using-runtime-package-management

Thanks,
Robert
