/etc/init.d/boinc of package sci-misc/boinc-6.10.58 however worked flawlessly.

works fine here, can't reproduce it. try emerging it again.
ok, didn't updated my config files. confirmed here also
Appending an & at multi-line start-stop-daemon construct is a quick & dirty fix.
Maybe is related to calling chrt
Confirmed. Can you please upload the old init file?

I tried putting it back (as with the old version) and the desired backgrounding immediately returned. Not sure if this is how we should go about fixing this, but it's definitely an indication of the problem.

Today I accidentally deleted /etc/init./boinc and therefore re-installed boinc-6.10.58-r1 and realized that the current init.de script doesn't start any boinc application. Instead it returns immediately w/o any further action. Fortunately I had a copy of the old working init.d script. Now I'm wondering whether sth. is wrong on my system or whether this is a general problem.

*** Bug 300169 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The quick workaround is putting ARGS="--daemon" into your /etc/conf.d/boinc. The correct fix would be to put this into the init script.
(In reply to comment #14) > The quick workaround is putting > > ARGS="--daemon" > > into your /etc/conf.d/boinc. > > The correct fix would be to put this into the init script. That is not enough (at least with current versin 6.12.26 - you've to add "--" to this line too : --exec "${BOINCBIN}" -- ${PARAMS}
Fixed in 6.12.26-r1
