I eventually posted this on the Gentoo bugzilla, and got pointed at the
cause.  It was the file /etc/portage/bashrc, which I'd put there to
enable patches to be made to package sources on emerging.  This file
came from <https://wiki.gentoo.org/wike//etc/portage/patches>.

It turns out it did not work properly with EAPI=6, but there is now a
corrected version of /etc/portage/bashrc on that wiki page which does.
