Multiple different emerges (not exactly everything, but almost) now (after #487870 ) forces update of dev-python/numpy to 1.7.1 despite not having obvious dependency on it. Also, libxml2 is reinstalled first, which makes absolutely no sense.

Uh ... upgrading to dev-python/numpy-1.7.1 doesn't really help, then emerge wants to reinstall numpy (and those other packages) again. Examples of other stuff which bring numpy in: emerge --ask -1 -v glibc emerge --ask -1 -v openssl openssh neon busybox
Hmmm ... considering that the list of applications to rebuild started to shorten when I emerged dev-lang/python-exec, it may be related to #486580 or #489440 ...
Try emerge --tree to see what might be pulling in numpy. Other than that, I see no bug here, except as a duplicate of bug #489922 or bug #489418.
