It might be masked by the profile. As I understand it, recent EAPIs
allow USE flags to be forced per-profile. This makes sense - a dev might
enable USE=udev everywhere except on gentoo-freebsd profiles, just as an
example. But I'm not yet up to speed on how to detect and over-ride such
things.

I think you should log a bug now at b.g.o. and let the devs tell you
what's really going on with your selections.
