Do you get a "!!! Digest verification failed:" message before that,
or only the "masked by: corruption" message?  Assuming that the
messages are invalid, you may be able to use FEATURES="-strict" or
FEATURES="digest" to avoid those messages.  However, you should know
exactly what those features do before you change them.

It sounds like you're experiencing this bug:

I'll get that one fixed ASAP.

Please file a bug.

Don't bother because -r8 will behave the same way.
