The _pre11 patch you provided will cause lots of problems with regards to 
virtuals. For example, if the default virtual/x11 is xfree and the user tries 
to emerge xorg-x11, portage will try to install both xfree and xorg-x11 
without those lines.

The _pre17 patch I'm not to sure about, but it is definately unrelated to the 
problem you are having - even if enabling the code does appear to fix it.

Anyway, it is fixed now and will be in portage-2.0.51_pre18.

Regards,
Jason Stubbs
