As you did a rebuild there's one log for the new build and one for the removal of the former installation (call of pkg_postrm() in the ebuild).

And notice in the second log it's pkg_postinst() complaining!

Compairing exo-0.3.107.ebuild with the ~masked exo-0.5.[34].ebuild I think the python_mod_xxxxx functions should be called with "exo-0.3 pyexo.py". I made this changes (see attached patch) and the second rebuild was without any errors.
