Long night, when you have to answer your own posts.....
Now I get:

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

ideas?

The problem is you are trying to downgrade sys-fs/udev but not
virtual/udev. If you want to force using udev-171, you need to mask both
the real and virtual atoms. Try this in /etc/portage/package.mask/udev:
>=sys-fs/udev-181
>=virtual/udev-181
Then emerge -avuD1 udev and see if that fixes it.
