No idea, but strange things happen in Portage's sandbox.
(By the way, ">&/dev/null" is a pasto? Here it is "&>".)
But have you tried updating the kernel? See the thread on "random
emerge failures". Yours aren't random, but worth trying an update.
And if that doesn't help, how about using a default profile?

Maybe. Have you looked at /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh?
Because here the chown is on line 1880. Portage 2.0.51.19.
Perhaps try reemerging portage?
