My guess is etc-update is somehow (either by your direction or otherwise) overwriting your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.  This isn't, however, a mirror issue, so I'm kicking this over to bug-wranglers.

Comment 2 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

this is cause of your CONFIG_PROTECT doesn't include /etc

watch my example:

CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/share/config /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb:/usr/kde/3.1/share/config:/usr/share/config"

a) you edited your make.global
b) you've overwritten this through make.conf
