Replying to my own message but looks like I've found the problem.  It
appears to be a long standing bug in portage.

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-457692-highlight-catalyst+loop.html
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131207

Looks like it has been resolved in portage-2.0.54-r2 and there is also a
patch available for portage-2.0.54-r1.

I haven't tried either yet as I'm (supposed to be) working. :)
