I saw this the other day as well. I just skipped it. Still, it made me wonder, given what it does and what should update the file, why should emerge touch that file?
Because the file belongs to the sys-apps/baselayout package.
It's like fstab. I doubt I'd ever let any config update touch fstab. I don't think I'd ever try to touch mtab myself.
fstab is a config file. mtab is not ;-) It doesn't even belong in /etc, but it's kept there for backwards compatibility.
