That's what it should do but it clearly doesn't quite work that way. It's easy to prove it's broken by finding any package on the resume list that can merge on its own without pulling in a previously failed package. I've had completely up-to-date systems where no possible failure could result in an unsatisfied dependency and portage refuses to resume an `emerge -e @world` with hundreds of possible packages on the resume list that would work in isolation. That's the problem.
