Oh, ok. This may make sense.
(I preferred the old behaviour, though. We grow accustomed to bugs as
features)

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U ] sys-apps/dbus-1.0.2 [0.62-r2] USE="X -debug -doc
(-selinux) (-gtk%*) (-mono%) (-python%*) (-qt3%*) (-qt4%*)" 1,368 kB

Total: 1 package (1 upgrade), Size of downloads: 1,368 kB

Note that before dbus 0.62 was somehow blocking, now it is no more blocking.
Etaoin Shrdlu referred to another bug that may explain this, but it's
quite unclear to me.

I thought it was a feature too. Although the new behaviour makes a lot
of sense.
