I ran into this a long time ago and I added this to my make.conf so that 
I don't forget.  Try running this:

emerge -uvDNa --with-bdeps y world

Then see what that does.  That added bit makes it look deeper into 
dependencies.  Like you, I thought that was what the -D did but 
apparently that only goes to a certain depth then stops.  If you want to 
add that to make.conf like I did, this is what goes there:

EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps y"

It's your choice whether to add that or not.  It will make emerge 
process what needs to be updated a while longer tho.
