Probably more a Portage bug, see also bug 153017.
no, i think you just have an old busybox binpkg
Dirk forgot to say that it was quickpkg'ed. As busybox-links.tar is not installed it won't get packaged by quickpkg and a new installation of the bin-package will fail.
updated the ebuild to only copy the tar when needed
