curl 7.16.0 is out. Bumping the ebuild name seems to work (amd64), but note that the libcurl soname changed from libcurl.so.3.0.0 to libcurl.so.4.0.0.
Thanks for the bug report. I've added it masked as no pycurl can work with it at the moment. (reported upstream http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1611936&group_id=28236&atid=392777) Needs a bit more testing to prove every libcurl program will work with the new version.
