OK, it is not in stable as far as this box is concerned:

# emerge --info | grep -i preserve
# 


I added it now to my make.conf.  I'll check on a second box in a minute to see 
if things are borked there too.  I think until preserve-libs becomes default 
the older libs should not be removed and the previous approach of asking to 
run 'revdep-rebuilt --library && rm' should remain.  Unless you advise 
otherwise I will post a bug when I get a minute.
