Feel free to file a bug with a patch.  Remember that catalyst isn't
really targeted for end-users (how many times do you hear that about a
project) but instead Gentoo developers.  We release it mostly for
transparency reasons and because of our social contract.  That being
said, we do work bug reports, especially ones with patches.

It is.  It is all due to seedcache and how it works.  It first searches
for a directory, then for a tarball.  That's not saying that there isn't
a bug in there somewhere, but the design is to use a directory first
when options=seedcache and a tarball only otherwise for all targets
*except* livecd-stage2.
