Well, argh. :)

Still, is it impossible for features to carry over from packages in the 
bootstrap stage and affecting depending packages before the dependency is 
reemerged, without this being a bug in the depending package?

I've had several problems, especially with perl, where packages depending on 
perl fails on missing files, which are only created when perl reemerges 
later. Is the rule of thumb that such errors are caused by packages abusing 
the system in some way?
