It does mark src_install as completed, but src_install is re-executed anyway. /var/tmp/portage/${P}/.installed exists afterwards, you can check this. Anyway, install phase shouldn't (and doesn't) do a collision-protect check, this would fail for emerge --buildpkgonly / ebuild ... package. collision-protect check is done during merge phase, and since the merge phase failed for you the first time, it makes sense that it's executed a second time. Personally, I rather like that, I'd hate to have files overwritten with collision-protect just because I forgot that I already had a collision-protect report earlier and hadn't cleaned my /var/tmp/portage yet, which seems to be what you're asking for. To disable it, it's always possible to temporarily export FEATURES=-collision-protect.
Well I would just like to see that I don't need to run src_install twice if collision-protect fails because a few packages have quite long make installs.
Use qmerge then. As said, collision-protect is run during the merge phase, and there isn't really a way to change this without changing the semantics of it fundamentally. If you want portage to not repeat the install phase, well, that is nothing specific to collision-protect (and qmerge avoids that).
