Something about this is just not clicking with me. I restored my backup to

I got out of chroot, copied these to $PKGDIR (/usr/portage/packages) like

Did you copy the entire PKGDIR heirarchy? It normally looks something like:
$PKGDIR/All/glib-1.2.10-r5.tbz2
...
$PKGDIR/dev-libs/glib-1.2.10-r5.tbz2 -> ../All/glib-1.2.10-r5.tbz2
If you just copied the 'All' directory, without the symlinks, this
could account for the behavior you are seeing.
