Hmm. Portage saves and reuses the ebuild environment, so each installed package has its phases and related eclass code stored. Which means this is probably fine, since 1) after syncing, the ebuilds are gone, so you'll never be able to rebuild the consumer 2) and unmerging the consumer is done using the saved environment.
