[ -t 1 ] in eutils.eclass returns false if PORT_LOGDIR is set.

Hm, I still think that that -t should be in there. Portage people, do you really intend to pretend we're not outputting to a tty? This'll b0rk maketest on some editor packages.

This is a CANTFIX on our side so who should this go to? For portage to log, it must take the package's stdout and stderr. Doing so means that it is not a terminal. End of story. "tee" is currently used for logging if it helps.
azarah, your eclass, CANTFIX or whatever.
Aparently this is due to portage doing '| tee' with logging enabled ..
Is /dev/tty any use here (see bug 99527)?
Seems nobody wants to remove the terminal check...
