The dependency was actually introduced with celery-3.1.21: http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/changelog.html Without biliard-3.3.0.23, which is not in the tree, the celery init script won't even start. Updated, tested and working ebuilds available in the "stefantalpalaru" overlay.
I have seen this too when attempting to switch to celery-3.1.24
Guys, please, add this as dependency. We had to bump dev-python/billiard as well.
