Rebooting only made the problem permanent, I had to SSH in to revert to sys-auth/pambase-20101024-r2 and sys-apps/shadow-4.1.5.I've not had a chance to find the full cause, but thought I'd post a warning to postpone this upgrade until you have time for the traditional ~arch dance.
Good thing I don't have pambase installed :-P
