Have you filed a bug @ bugs.gentoo.org?
I believe i have done this a while ago, but i'd have to check
Why does this happen for you? Surely if you have /tmp mounted when you untar the install stage you use, it will get the correct permissions?
Actually, it doesn't. In the install files, there's a /tmp directory with the correct permissions, but afaik it doesn't overwrite the existing one if something's mounted on it (with obvious reasons).
