The ebuilds for blender that are currently in the portage tree do not check possible values of MAKEOPTS carefully enough: All ebuilds < version 2.43 do not do any checks at all, all versions >= 2.43 do remove -l[0-9], but there are according to site [1] more possibilities for that value, for example: -l 2, -l 2.5 These are not matched by the removal and thus cause errors.

It just occured to me that also long options for -l (--load-average, --max-load) should be matched.
Yeah, scons sucks.
Uhm, I do not agree with WONTFIX. According to /etc/make.conf.example MAKEOPTS are options that are destined to be passed to make. Thus, all possible make options are valid so far. If ebuilds decide to pass MAKEOPTS to scons, they should check the options for invalid ones. Or, at least, the use of any other options than -j in MAKEOPTS should be discouraged in the comments in /etc/make.conf.example.
Yeah, according to quick bugzilla search there are exactly two other users using -l in MAKEOPTS, and none of them using non-integer values for them. Noones that would use --load-average, two people that use --max-load. Sorry it fails for you, but no point in introducing crazy hacks in ebuilds to accommodate for scons suckage.

That should definitely go in the blender ebuild, claiming success but failing as with MAKEOPTS="--load-average=3" is not what anybody want. So this one is still open for me.

Meh, that's not a fix, that's a workaround for scons suckage. :) Ebuilds don't touch /etc/portage/env at all, plus as noted here, getting all possible combos of MAKEOPTS stuff that scons chokes on in the ebuild filtered out like this is kinda troublesome.
Summary: Get scons fixed.
