When using ifplugd to control the network connection, if the cable is unplugged the netmount script is run to umount network drives (AFAIK). The list of network filesystems include fuse as defined by NET_FS_LIST in /etc/init.d/functions.sh. Unfortunately, encfs uses fuse, so the encfs process is killed and all mounted encrypted filesystems disappear. If you are encrypting your whole home directory (as I was on a laptop), your session is terminated. As a quick fix I've removed fuse from NET_FS_LIST, and so far things seem to be working correctly.
afaik, the net script shouldnt be restarted you didnt post `emerge info` or your /etc/conf.d/net file; do so now please

i'm going to guess that this is simply misconfiguration (sort of) if the ifplugd interface is your only network interface and you have not configured RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING in /etc/conf.d/rc, then the behavior you're seeing is correct: all network init.d scripts are brought down when you unplug the cable since fuse contains both network and local filesystems, for the purpose of our init.d scripts we have to assume the worse and go with network as there is no easy way to figure out what's what you can tweak RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING so that the network scripts are not taken down when stopping your iface, but that's about the best i can suggest
