i think the unpack function
    src_unpack() {
        unpack ${A}
        tar xf dist.99.linux.tar
    }
only existed because the older versions of emerge didnt handle .Z files 
properly (see Bug 5867)
this doesnt affect the installation of the package, but Ole is right, this code 
should just be removed ;)

ole: what version of portage?  could it be that all your recent bug reports are
due to the old buggy portage?

I think most of the recent bugreports are due to bug 6983. 
 
This bug, however, seems not to be.

This bug has been fixed by enhancing ebuild.sh's error detection. Fix is in
_alpha3 and will be in 2.0.30 as well.
