When you later uninstall the package that you tried out it won't uninstall all the dependencies that where drawn in as dependencies, which means that they're still installed on your system. But since you didn't explicitly installed them by 'emerge dep1; emerge dep2...' they're not in the world-file either, and thus 'emerge -Du world' won't update those packages if they're not depended on by some other package that you've installed later on...
