Final final note-- I just did an emerge, and suddenly etc-update had something it wanted to update... the 30 files. cfg-update still didn't know anything about them, so I just did a -5 (yes, I know, I *never* do that, this is really the very first time I have) and *finally* replaced them (most likely with themselves since I upgraded then downgraded to the same version of Xorg I had originally upgraded from). /Now/ this issue is finally done.
