The bug is closed.  the .51.20-r3 version of portage, with sandbox
1.2.1-r2, works just fine, here.  ~amd64 users should have no problems
with it.

(For anyone using /etc/portage/profile/package.provided, note that
the new version of portage, according to the portage manpage, expects
versions on all package strings therein. I didn't have versions on some of
mine and the new portage was protesting.  If you don't want to be bothered
with newer versions, try putting in a real high version number.  For
instance, I install kernels from kernel.org, so don't use portage for
that, and therefore put sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.999 in my
package.provided. That should keep it from asking for awhile, even if some
package thinks it needs gentoo-sources-2.6.37 or some such thing.  <g>)
