When downgrading from gcc-3.3.5.20050130 to gcc-3.3.5-r1:

3.3.5-r1 will be compiled and merged to the live filesystem as expected. At this point, gcc-config is invoked, and switches to the 3.3.5.20050130 compiler (bad), and then removes 3.3.5.20050130 from the live system.

The same appears when upgrading the compiler.

No, it does not (fixed in Bug 94959)... Anyway, any news here?

this one just kicked me in the balls a few seconds ago when downgrading from 3.4.4

The logic in the eclass looks like it handles this fine now.
