Paludis will not add to world if:

* you specify -1
* your dependency specification includes any operators or restrictions
* the build process fails midway-through (even if some of your
  specified targets succeeded)

Some older Paludis versions would not add sets to world either.

Generally not, if you keep your system well maintained and regularly
kill off anything that's not in world.
