I cannot reprocedure this problem..

I had the same problem. It's due to a USE flag. I put USE="" in make.conf and did an emerge --resume and it succeeded. I continued the bootstrapping with my USE flags after. After searching a bit, I think it's "gtk". When my bootstrap finishes, I try again with gtk again to check. If yes, it should be filtered or fixed :-)
I confirm that the gtk flag caused this error here.
I had the same error while bootstrapping, libart_lgpl fails with the same error message. The gtk use flag did not stop bootstrap trying to install libart_lgpl, as mentioned in comment 5. Dropping the gcj use flag, or exporting STAGE1_USE="build" fixes the problems for me. This is a duplicate of bug 66042.
