I found the issue as well on one of my systems. I'm working on fixing it. This does not impact the ability of revdep-rebuild to check the system, it just will not be able to use a cache to speed things up, when the bug is occurring.

I have pushed the fix for this to git. The fix can be tested with gentoolkit-9999 https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/gentoolkit.git/commit/?id=c8783ccb225cddb43052463c092e8edc091c371a

I faced with this issue too. I tested this patch with current stable version 0.3.2-r1 Patch fix the issue for me.
This fix has been released in gentoolkit-0.3.3

Reopening for visibility until >=app-portage/gentoolkit-0.3.3 is stabilized. We are still getting bug reports from stable users on gentoolkit-0.3.2-r1 and the default bugzilla search doesn't search resolved bugs.
*** Bug 608854 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Fixed, so closing.
