In the past, if something has a digest failure, there is a error.  Maybe 
that has changed but that is what I have got in the past.  I see this a 
lot with googleearth for example.

Maybe I am misreading something regarding the error but it seems it is 
doing what you tell it to do to me.  The -N option is for USE flags not 
new packages.  From the man page:

        --newuse (-N)
               Tells emerge to include installed packages where USE 
flags have  changed  since  compilation.  This
               option also implies the --selective option.  USE flag 
changes include:

               A  USE  flag was added to a package.  A USE flag was 
removed from a package.  A USE flag was turned
               on for a package.  A USE flag was turned off for a package.

               USE flags may be toggled by your profile as well as your 
USE and package.use settings.


The -f option will only fetch so the reason it is not compiling it again 
is because you are not telling it to compile but only to fetch.

Maybe someone else will come along and read this differently and see 
something I am missing.
