It appears to only be a cosmetic issue.
you must include emerge info as an attachment in all of your bug reports as well as listing the exact version of the package you're using emerge --info netstat
I believe this error is the SCTP/IPv6 parsing bug that was fixed in some of those Fedora patches I kludged in a while back. You might've put them upstream by now? If so, this might be fixed in the latest cut of net-tools.
