Hmm, this is a strange one. It would probably help to take a look in
libdialog.la to see what's getting set to PORTAGE_TMPDIR. Once emerge
has failed to merge dev-util/dialog it should leave the workdir in
/var/tmp/portage. Can you post the contents of:

/var/tmp/portage/dev-util/dialog-1.1.20100428/work/dialog-1.1-20100428/libdialog.la

to the list? If you don't have a /v/t/p/dev-util/dialog-1.1.20100428
directory after failing to emerge it, try *TEMPORARILY* using the
keepwork feature:

FEATURES="keepwork" emerge -1 dev-util/dialog

It's bad to use keepwork when you aren't debugging, so DO NOT put it in
your make.conf.

Hopefully looking at the .la file will help us narrow down what is
happening.
