I've been seeing it for a long time. I even filed a bug report, which
vapier confirmed and he renamed my bug report "ebuild spends too much
time polling ${obscure-socket-name}".
I just looked for the bug report but I can't find it. Eventually the
problem went away and I assumed he fixed it, but maybe not -- your
problem seems identical.
Come to think of it, maybe the problem disappeared because I've been
using libreoffice-4 for quite a while now, and lo-4 never had that
bug.
Or maybe some old update of portage fixed the problem for me, dunno.
