Perhaps gentoo policy could be to make ebuilds reference:

#!/bin/ebuild-bash

which by default would be a sym-link to bash, but on a sandbox system would 
have the dynamic bash in place?

I don't know how much of an issue using the wrong shell is, I don't know how 
often people will encounter problems, but I do know that when bash got 
version skewed (or something) on my Debian system, it was a nightmare.
