Can't reproduce.

Please provide steps how to reproduce in a clean stage3.

I have the same error regarding the Python pickle when emerging 'sys-apps/file' and 'dev-python/python-distutils-extra'.  It's looking for /usr/lib/python3.7/lib2to3/Grammar3.7.7.final.0.pickle when it should be 3.7.8.  Appears PC specific and I haven't been able to determine why.  You can use a symlink to get past it for now.

I was able to resolve this issue by removing Python stuff that was installed on root outside of Portage (probably a `sudo pip install ...`).

Thanks, that was it.  Why /opt is given precedence over /usr/lib escapes me but it's fixed now.
