Not exactly the same thing, but the recent spidermonkey bump changed the lib
from libjs.so to libmozjs.so.  mediatomb kept finding the old libjs on
rebuild.  I had to uninstall mediatomb to dump the library and reinstall it.

There's not much we can do about stuff like that, but it's not an uncommon
occurrence.  I usually run into a sticky preserved lib or two every couple
months.

I still think it's much better than the current portage 2.1 behavior which
results in a broken mediatomb.  I'll take the rare possibility of a symbol
collision over a guaranteed broken package any day.
