Yes, that's it.  From the bug, it seems the problems are in the ebuilds.  
However, the
updated portage's solution is to remove them from the world file.  Thus a loop
gets created -

        emaint --fix world removes the packages)
        regenworld adds the packages back in.
        emerge -uDNav world generatea the error -
                Problems have been detected with your world file
                Please run emaint --check world

While there are problems, though I'm not sure what exactly they are, the new
portage notes them.  Then puts itself in a, slow, loop with some hope someone
else knows how to fix the problems.

The problem portage thinks that exists seems to be with some allowed keywords 
and
masked packages, not as it reports - no ebuilds available.  Though, it could be 
technically
argued that using "x86", "~x86", and "-*" in /usr/etc/portage.keywords, on my 
system
is incorrect.  It is somewhat misleading to say - no ebuilds available, 
implying that no 
ebuilds with the arch keyword of the running system is available.
