Maybe this is a known issue, but I can't find any bug describing this...

baselayout issue (I think). ebegin/eend are defined in /sbin/functions.sh. They really shouldn't be used from ebuilds though.
> ebegin/eend are defined in /sbin/functions.sh For ebuilds, they're defined in /usr/lib/portage/bin/isolated-functions.sh, actually, which is why it only fails from ebuilds/eclasses.
True..
using ebegin/eend in ebuilds/eclasses is fine, and noted here, they are broken in portage, not baselayout
fixed by punting the current versions and re-importing the ones from baselayout
Released in 2.1_pre4
