media-gfx/splash-themes-livecd contains the theme you want (2005.0).
What you're saying is true, but a gensplash theme is just a gensplash theme -- it doesn't necessarily reflect the version of your Gentoo system. The 'emergence' theme which I guess you're using, was made in the days of 2004.0. If you want something newer, feel free to try splash-themes-livecd-2005.0 :)
thanks, ph and Michal Januszewski, for your hint. I did mark the severity of this "bug" as trivial. I added a note to http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash about picking the "correct" theme in order to match the version of one's system.
