Apparently, though unproven, at 16:55 on Friday 03 September 2010, James did opine thusly:

In which case you won't run rm just yet. emerge nukes it anyway on the next emerge of that package. ebuild itself doesn't nuke it, but you really shouldn't be running ebuild directly unless you are dev'ing something. To no need to ever keep that tmp stuff around -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
