Maybe we can trace the behavior back to the diff3 command that it's
using. Inside /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage/dispatch_conf.py we have this
command:
DIFF3_MERGE = "diff3 -mE '%s' '%s' '%s' > '%s'"
Are you able to reproduce the problem by running this command manually?
Something like this:
diff3 -mR /etc/conf.d/hostname \
/etc/config-archive/etc/conf.d/hostname.dist \
/etc/conf.d/._cfg0000_hostname > /tmp/mrgconf

Thanks,
Zac
