There appears to have been a change it how portage reports updates in
different slots. It seems that now U is only for updates in the same
slot (where the old version will be removed). When the new version is in
a different slot the old one will be kept, so it's ambiguous to call it
an update.

It is slightly confusing, but not as confusing as
[ebuild  U    ] sys-apps/application-2.7 [3.1]
"Oh no, am I going to lose my new version or not!" :-)

Cheers
