Can confirm.  One oddity though.  If you try to do this with emerge, it fails every time. So I tried

ebuild /usr/portage/app-admin/eselect/eselect-1.0.8.ebuild install

just to see if that might do it.  It failed, so I then did

ebuild /usr/portage/app-admin/eselect/eselect-1.0.8.ebuild clean install

and it worked. I've repeated it a couple times, and it always works using ebuild, as long as you have not tried emerge first.
