I have commented out the ~* from /etc/portage/package,keywords on both gvim and vim, and the issue has gone away and all is well again. Though I admit I am a tad confuzzeled as to what the issue was. I thought wrongly that I had the latest ~* versions of both gvim and vim installed along with the appropriate vim-core, it turns out that I had stable but it was calling ~* due to the package,keywords file though I dont understand quite why the stable versions could not be updated to include all matching versions of gvim vim vimcore in testing? No matter really as so long as I have a working vim from work and a gvim at home I am happy, thanks for the responses.

You have both gvim and vim in your world file. If you want the latest ~* versions of gvim, then you'll also need the latest ~* version of vim. Alternatively, you could uninstall vim.
