I had a similar case recently and detected another problem if you try
to switch from one possibility to the other.
Say you have python with berkdb compiled to satisfy the dependency and
then set "dev-lang/python -berkdb sqlite" in package.use. After this
world dependency calculation will fail.
The only way I found to get around this is to recompile python with
the new use flags first. Afterwards dependency calculation succeeds.
