Ha! Got it!
Searching over that output, that I had never really thought about before, I 
found the answer.
gimp depends on gtkhtml-2*, which at it's highest stable release (2.6.3) 
depends on gail if USE=accessibility.
dvdrip depends on gtkhtml, which at it's highest stable release (3.10.2) 
unconditionally depends on gail.
I had both gtkhtml (3.10.2) and gtkhtml-2* (2.6.3) installed.

media-gfx/gimp-2.2.12 comes before media-video/dvdrip-0.97.10, gimps gtkhtml 
depstring became a candidate, so dvdrips dependency was being ignored!
Removing both versions of gtkhtml, and merging gimp then dvdrip separately has 
apparently sorted it.
depclean has removed gail, libsoup, and their dependencies, and my dynamic 
linking remains consistant.

Thanks
