Please do a "revdep-rebuild" and then try again.
Well here is what revdep-rebuild wanted me to re-emerge emerge --oneshot -q =media-libs/libgphoto2-2.2.1-r1 =media-libs/netpbm-10.36.0 =gnome-base/nautilus-2.16.3 =gnome-extra/libgda-1.2.3 =gnome-extra/gnome-screensaver-2.16.2 =gnome-extra/nautilus-cd-burner-2.16.3 Off hand I can't see how any of those packages would correct the problem. But for some odd reason it surely did? A bit lost there, but don't really care either since the problem is gone now. Mighty odd. Do you have any info to explain why that worked?

Not odd at all. If you have one of these USE flags (that don't matter, just like you said) called "gphoto2" set, sane-backends depend on libgphoto2. And if sane-backends is broken because of a broken libgphoto2 xsane can't be compiled because sane-backends is broken.
