5.15.9 does not have this postinst problem (it does have the same rsync issues though, but that, I think, is a more generic portage issue)
Closing this as a likely side effect of having CONFIG_PROTECT=/lib/modules (running dispatch-conf "fixes" it), although this was never a problem before (since I started using it in August 2021 to address my issue of old kernel modules being removed in a depclean). Not going to investigate this further.
