The problem is, your update had things *using* old gobject-introspection before it's queued to update. I suspect this is what happened in bug 947052 too. It's not clear what the best way to fix this is. Maybe (bleh) change all gobject-introspection deps to be >= recent version "unnecessarily".
Had same problem. Masking the affected packages and/or doing emerge --resume --skipfirst until gobject-introspection package is compiled solved the problem. I could then unmask previously masked packages and rerun emerge -uDa --newuse
For anyone else running into this issue like me, an easy way to move past this (I don't like --skip-first so much) is to just: emerge -1av gobject-introspection For me, that updated python, glib and gobject-introspection and then libproxy happily updated.
