*** Bug 133846 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
It looks like you need to `chmod o+rx /usr/bin/sandbox` (or disable userpriv).
I'm not sure how your sandbox lost it's o+x bit, but I'm pretty sure it's not a portage bug. Please reopen if you have evidence indicating otherwise.
I don't know how the bits would have changed either, as I did not change them. I did recently (May 15) update the sandbox ebuild from 1.2.12 to 1.2.17. Perhaps this is a sandbox ebuild issue?
