Are you sure those didn't come from the old ebuild during unmerge of the old version ?
I thought this was from a revdep-rebuild. In elog-viewer, it's listed under INFO (postinst) for this package from a month ago, but then more recently listed under INFO (postrm) instead, all for this version. And now, when I rebuild the package again, the message doesn't pop up. Could the ebuild have gotten changed without a version number change?
Without seeing full build log, I can't be 100% sure, but most likely the message you've seen came from the old ebuild, which was used during unmerge phase of the upgrade.
