Why does the ebuild chown/chmod everything post-install, instead of doing it either in src_install or pkg_preinst? In the latter case, I think you could also delay creating the user until preinst. http://michael.orlitzky.com/articles/end_root_chowning_now_%28make_pkg_postinst_great_again%29.xhtml
It seems that keepdir changes the permissions on the /var/spool/at/atspool directory, that's why the previous owner opted to fix that in pkg_postinst. Moving ownership and permission setting into src_install after keepdir should work though.

Fix broken permission by keepdir in scr_install instead.
