No, the problem wasn't that rebuilds weren't done (btw: this is not
about @preserved-rebuilds, but about subslot dependencies), but that
updates which would trigger such rebuilds are silently ignored. This
happened to me yesterday while trying --backtrack=0. The available
update to dev-haskell/parsec simply didn't show up (haskell ebuilds
make heavy use of subslot deps), I only noticed this because I knew
there was in fact an update available (thanks to eix-diff). Only after
enabling backtracking Portage found the update.

This might well be a bug, perhaps I'll examine the situation when I've
got more time.
