Also see Bug 86352 for explanation.

I still have the problem even after upgrade to coreutils-5.2.1-r6.

Uhm, OK, but then Bug 87429 should be probably reopened, not this one. Just to
be sure, what do you get when you run

echo foo:bar | cut -d: -f1

$ echo foo:bar | cut -d: -f1
foo
$

Hmm, I

Hmm, I´ll reopen the original bug then so that it can be resolved properly. 

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 86352 ***

I see no evidence yet that it is one and the same problem, bug #86352 seems to
be correctly identified & resolved.

do you use nscd ?

Yes, I use nscd. I have at the moment fully up-to-date ~x86 system, so I
retried
to emerge this package (while nscd running):

>>> Merging sys-apps/dbus-0.23.4 to /

!!! ERROR: sys-apps/dbus-0.23.4 failed.
!!! Function enewgroup, Line 716, Exitcode 141




When nscd is shutdown, I get:

>>> Merging sys-apps/dbus-0.23.4 to /

 *  - Groupid: next available

>>> Completed installing dbus-0.23.4 into /var/tmp/portage/dbus-0.23.4/image/

I have added the gropup messagebus to /etc/group file manually (GID 112), and
then I got this:

>>> Merging sys-apps/dbus-0.23.4 to /
 * Adding user 'messagebus' to your system ...

!!! ERROR: sys-apps/dbus-0.23.4 failed.

Is I see you add ID 102, so I created also the user, switched group id to 102
too (for consistency) and then retried to emerge dbus, and it finally got
through. ;)
