Disable collision protection is all I can offer. The problem is that we offer ebuilds that supercede the same modules provided by the core perl install - we don't overwrite the modules themselves, but the man pages have only one common place to live. That's where your collision is occurring - the man pages from the ebuild will overwrite those from the core install.
OK, so please go ahead and add RESTRICT=collision-protect.
Because that isn't the point of RESTRICT. man 5 ebuild. RESTRICT = [nostrip,nomirror,fetch,nouserpriv] not to mention portage wouldn't support it anyway. I'm not saying there isn't a solution (I can think of a few convoluted, painful to implement ones), just that there isn't one atm.
