I tried to install nmrpipe which has a fetch restiction. With emerge --jobs=4 -v sci-chemistry/nmrpipe the einfo from pkg_nofetch() isn't shown. As a result the sense of this is lost. W/o --jobs everything works like expected.
This will be handled a little better in 2.2_rc7 by automatically displaying the content of /var/log/emerge-fetch.log in cases like this. In a later version I plan to add support for a temp directory during fetch, for holding elog messages from pkg_nofetch or whatnot. Not that with --verbose enabled you can see a summary of fetch restrictions at the bottom of the merge list display and in any case you can see the pkg_nofetch output in /var/log/emerge-fetch.log.

All other einfos are shown except that one. Isn't that problem to take a quick look into the ebuild to find the packages to fetch, but I was sure to have them fetched and was confused that the fetch restriction is still not full filled.

In 2.2_rc7 it will display the fetch log automatically if that's the only thing that failed. For normal elog support in pkg_nofetch, we need to allocate a temporary for the ebuild to store elog messages in. This will not be fixed until after 2.2_rc7 has been released.

I was I little stunned as this whole bunch of fetches scrolls down in front of me.
I suppose we can take the output from a failed fetch and use it to generate an elog message. Then it can easily be displayed, similar to how die messages are displayed.
In svn r11686 is fixed to generate an eerror message that includes the path of the fetch log.
This is fixed in 2.2_rc13.
