This error occurs only when there is no up-to-date cache for given ebuild.
rsync users would see only the usual "masked by: EAPI 3" message.

Here's the updated version of my proposition:

* bash-4.0 features are allowed in EAPI="3" (global scope and local scope).

* bash-4.0 features temporarily shouldn't be used in gentoo-x86 repository
  until 1 month has passed since stabilization of =app-shells/bash-4.0* on
  all architectures. It will give Gentoo developers sufficient time to update
  app-shells/bash. (app-shells/bash used on system, which generates cache,
  also should be updated.)
