--jobs applies to the compilation phase of emerge. You can see that it is
only ever installing one package at a time, so it is not surprising that
the same applies to uninstalling. It makes sense, at least from the
install perspective, portage checks for file collisions, if two packages
tried to install the same file concurrently, it wouldn't be able to deal
with the collision.
