I just ran into this issue, the solution I used was to edit line 363 of ffmpeg-9999.ebuild and remove " doc/RELEASE_NOTES" and then run

"ebuild /usr/portage/distfiles/media-video/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-9999.ebuild manifest"

Apparently it was an unused file that was removed.

reopening the bug then.  ebuild should get something like,

[[ -e doc/RELEASE_NOTES ]] && dodoc doc/RELEASE_NOTES
