It almost certainly is, tsocks uses LD_PRELOAD to mangle it's magic so that stuff works. I believe chromium has severe issues with tsocks because of how it does it's sandboxing, but I honestly don't know how to get around that. On a properly setup Gentoo amd64 system, /lib is a link to /lib64, so the error you get is not a path error, the chromium binary really cannot (or will not) deal with tsocks.so I don't see anything wrong with the rest of your config. I honestly think you are dealing with a chromium feature not a chromium bug.
