Summary kinda says it, just noticed on my laptop that on updating adobe-flash it would install the 64bit plugin. Since x86 is 32bit only that doesn't seem to make much sense and the flag should be masked. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
No it won't, you can check by reading the ebuild, or the CONTENTS-file of the merged package. 32bit/64bit USE-flags are only relevant for amd64 systems, and actually won't even be checked on a x86 system.
User confusion error detected ;)
Ah ok, in that case could the USE flag be masked on x86 just to avoid the user confusion error? ;)

Comment #3 is right, if the USE flag does not make sense on a particular architecture, then one should mask it there. Reopening and sending to the maintainers.

I agree completely, these should be masked on x86, and I"ll do this at my earliest opportunity... Though it may be a while since Real Life gets in the way. Jan (or any other Gentoo dev), please feel free to go ahead and do this for me if you feel like it!
Okay, should be good to go, USE="32bit 63bit" are both masked for this package under x86, just like multilib is.
