I just realized that Portage sets the text color to a bright white during the line mentioned and does not unset that color afterwards. It is a cosmetic bug but still a bug.

I have never seen this over here. Where does this happen (console, term - if term, which one) ? Also include 'emerge info'. The other option is to update to unstable baselayout 1.8.6.12-r2 and see if that makes any difference ...
Ahem. I found the problem. It was a malfunctioning hack from my part. After fixing it the bug has been unreproducable on both my systems.
