Would you look at that - that actually solved the problem. I can now set 
XATTR_PAX flags markings on files in $PORTAGE_TMPDIR. Thanks!

I'll try to get around to setting up a VM with a bleeding-edge kernel to see 
if this behaviour is still present, and if so report it as a bug.

One weird thing I noticed was that even though (some of) the binaries have 
XATTR_PAX markings while in $PORTAGE_TMPDIR, none do after being merged to /:


# find /usr/lib64/icedtea7 -type f -name java | xargs -l paxctl-ng -v

        PT_PAX    : -em--
        XATTR_PAX : not found

        PT_PAX    : -em--
        XATTR_PAX : not found
