Well, OBS code for this is:

    if test "$BUILD_USER" = abuild ; then
        grep -E '^#[[:blank:]]*needsrootforbuild[[:blank:]]*$' >/dev/null
<$RECIPEPATH && BUILD_USER=root
    else

(so with my limited regex foo, I'd say the syntax used was correct)

I'll check with the OBS team about the feature in the context of mulitbuild
