We noticed that a while back too.  I added --oneshot to my make.conf 
setting to prevent this.  When you want something added to the world 
file, check into the --select option.  I'm pretty sure that is the one.

I do agree that updates shouldn't add things to the world file but I 
wouldn't hold my breath on it getting changed.
