This is the intended behavior. You can force it to update the digest like this:

  ebuild --force kdebase-4.1.4.ebuild digest

Reopening since the error message isn't very good. We can make it better.

It's fixed in svn r12498 to look like this:

!!! No write access to '/usr/portage/distfiles'
!!! Previously fetched file: 'kdebase-4.1.4.tar.bz2'
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size
!!! Got:      4403306
!!! Expected: 4402975
!!! File kdebase-4.1.4.tar.bz2 is incorrect size, but unable to retry.
!!! Fetch failed for kdebase-4.1.4.tar.bz2, can't update Manifest
!!! If you would like to forcefully replace the existing Manifest entry
!!! for kdebase-4.1.4.tar.bz2, use the following command:
!!!    ebuild --force kdebase-4.1.4.ebuild manifest

This is fixed in 2.1.6.6 and 2.2_rc22.
