[SNIP]

Both 20050930 and 9999 are masked (illegally) by missing keyword. I assume 
you've simply put "app-emulation/wine -*" in your p.keywords to unmask it. 
Instead you should put "~app-emulation/wine-9999 -*" in there. The problem is 
that emerge wrongly thinks that 20050930 is newer than 9999 because the 
number is greater.
