Replying to myself again. Figured I should give more info.

Attached is my licenses patch and some of the output from an "emerge -ep 
--debug world". The process continues jumping between libtool and gnuconfig 
but I can't figure out why. More to the point, I can't figure out why it 
doesn't do it when all the licenses are accepted. Any pointers?

With the patch, to see what I'm talking about, first remove the section headed 
"# return here else trouble occurs ;-)". Otherwise, everything works 
perfectly except that deps of packages that haven't had their licenses 
accepted are not checked.
