Now it shows all descending dependencies, such lists can be very lengthy. It should limit to those packages which are contained in world file. Attached log is 4k lines long which makes it pretty useless.

What concerns the merge list, no it should display all packages that are about to be installed. A problem with your output is that it shows too many parents for the slot conflict message. Does this still happen if you update portage first? (emerge -1u portage and then run your command again)
sys-apps/portage-2.1.10.20 gives the same output
I miss read it. It's not a slot conflict, but blocked packages. This is a long standing issue. What we should do is to use the same parent selection algorithm the slot conflict handler uses.
This is fixed in git: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=77b651300731ec007cd535a83b8ee9a898602783
This is fixed in 2.1.10.21 and 2.2.0_alpha61.
