It gets stranger. I was getting the same results as you and did some
experiments running emerge -p and --backtrack.

And suddenly, emerge -avuND world now works as expected. How's that for
non-deterministic? I can only assume those weird magic dynamic depends
are somehow involved and as such is worthy of a bug report.

You can also resync as xorg-server-1.16.0.901 is now gone from the tree.
