Here you are unkeyword-masking all versions and masking 0.9.0, so portage
picks the highest version that matches, which is 0.9.1.

Now you are both unkeyword-masking and unmasking 0.9.0 but 0.9.1 is
already keyword masked, so the best match is 0.8.0.

keyword masking and package masking are considered separately, so although
0.9.0 may match on ACCEPT_KEYWORDS, it is still package masked.
