I can confirm this issue after updating eix today, and conferring with others in #gentoo. I can add that it seems that eix does not like comment lines that do not contain a package name, but does not complain if the comment contains one.
Created attachment 331562 [details, diff] Fix pushback_lines argument This is a serious regression due to a stupid mistake in a function argument. The attached patch should fix it.
There's a typo in the patch filename. It's eix-0.2.5-commentlines.patch and should be eix-0.27.5-commentlines.patch
