Hrm, I don't see any warnings for the emacs overlay using the following
(native, not Portage) configuration:

location = /var/paludis/repositories/emacs
format = ebuild
sync = svn+http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/emacs/emacs-overlay
master_repository = gentoo
write_cache = /var/cache/paludis/metadata/

Usually when people get errors with an overlay it's because of a
missing profiles/repo_name file, which isn't the case here.

It might well be the reason since the comment on LWN is from 5 July
and the file didn't exist at the time:

   $ svn log emacs-overlay/profiles/repo_name 
   ------------------------------------------------------------------------
   r579 | ulm | 2007-07-09 21:16:41 +0200 (Mon, 09 Jul 2007) | 2 lines

   Add profiles/repo_name.
