These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

The previous stable version (1.0.20060217) does not hang on this (haven't actually let it recompile completely, but it got past the iconv call). I have changed useflags, but setting them as they were doesn't seem to prevent this. I have not had this before.

IMHO, its work-aroud way is not so difficult.
Its problem is ${S}/help/help_mp-${LINGUAS}.h.charset doesn't exist.
So,
1) *if ${S}/help/help_mp-${LINGUAS}.h exists*,
   create ${S}/help/help_mp-${LINGUAS}.h.charset in src_unpack() like:
    echo FILE_CHARSET > ${S}/help/help_mp-${LINGUAS}.h.charset
   where FILE_CHARSET is the charset of ${S}/help/help_mp-${LINGUAS}.h
2) if not, unset unicode USE flag or so.
   Because of it's required to avoid iconv command is mess.

Anyway, it's just work-around way, not fixing.
IMHO, to include all help headers' charset file in upstream tarball is good.
Otherwise, patching or tweaking it inside ebuild like above for work-around.
