This bug still exists in version 0.1.4. It's critical that it gets fixed as etcat has been officially deprecated.
If the ebuild is no longer in the tree or overlay, then equery will show the installed package as being masked. As far as not showing the ebuild when a matching ebuild is in an overlay, I am unable to get that information from portage , since an overlay is considered as overriding the portage tree.
