Will this not cause the package to be recorded in world?

I think you update a oneshotted package with `emerge -1 package` (just the same as you used to install it in the first place).

This probably doesn't arise very often, as you probably won't be updating oneshotted packages very often. --oneshot is fairly strictly a temporary solution - to fulfil a virtual in a certain way or just for testing how a package behaves with or without a graphics lib installed. If you want the package updated then you should record it in world.
