Looks like a portage bug.
This should fix it: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=69a95739d34b9112a60774ede71eea1661b78f2d

At least the symptoms appear nothing alike to me: this one here talks about a python backtrace from emerge, whereas that one describes a broken system as the /usr/lib symlink got overwritten by a package which presumably cannot cope with the non-existence of standard directories in its install destination.
