you don't add multilib to features. You have to use a multilib profile!
If you use this one:
default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop
you are using a multilib profile.
I would say its a bug in the ebuild - it ends in /usr/lib here too.
why it doesn't use get_libdir to get the right lib to install into is a
question best answered by the author(s) of the ebuild.
