I know I'm beginning to sound like a broken record here, but I can't seem to get a definitive answer, and the build process for LB is ... complex.

follow the same steps I have?* 2) If so, is this a "real" issue? Or do I just badly mis-understand the LB build process?
FWIW I tend to do "./buildtarget via/epia-m/Config.lb" in the targets directory, then change to the via/epia-m/epia-m/ directory that gets made, type "make" and it works. I have found that the build system doesn't always take account of changes I make such that I end up removing via/epia-m/epia-m/ and rerunning buildtarget to be sure of a clean build.
Did you add the VGA options (CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA=1,CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN=1) to Config.lb before the buildtarget? This is crucial to making the issue exhibit itself -- without these options, it compiles cleanly for me, as well.
Ah, right. No. Part of my interest in LinuxBIOS is proper serial console support, so I'm not using VGA at all.
