This would be a user-error. You can make any virtual-entries here of your own-wish that does not really exists. However, when a profile-change renames a packes, does it upgrade this file?
net-www/tomcat might be a valid package.
The package was moved from net-www to www-servers. So I think portage should update the files in /etc/portage/.
That I agree on. Change the summary to affect that issue instead, and reopen the bug.
Sure you didn't ignore/skip an etc-update?

Portage does update the files. It creates ._cfg* entries for any matching file in /etc/portage/ that will then be picked up by etc-update or dispatch-conf. If this did not happen, you are either using an old portage or you ignored the update.
