I've experienced this problem before. The developers insist the ebuild is absolutely correct, but it doesn't always attempt to migrate conf changes to /etc/udev.
The easiest way to fix this problem permanently is to
$ sudo rm /etc/udev/{permissions,rules}.d/50-*
$ sudo emerge -av udev
This will blow away the default udev conf files that are causing you
problems, then re-emerge udev. The updated defaults will be installed in
the right place. This assumes you haven't touched the 50-* files (you
put all custom changes in 10-local, right).
