That only shows that you have not used any function that requires
gettext, not that none use it.

It needs to be installed, now that your update has pulled it back in try
depclean again.

equery depends always used to be unreliable when it came to USE
controlled dependencies. emerge --depclean gives the authoritative answer
and it considers the portage tree, USE flags and dependencies at the
time it is run.

Yes, equery is still getting it wrong, gvim only depends on gettext when
built with USE=nls.

Because there is a language setting in your current profile. If this were
a system default, the new profile would exhibit the same behaviour. If
Firefox is the only program that is misbehaving, and then only with an
existing profile, I would not look further afield for blame.
