This does sound like a bug that you should report, but how about changing 
your method of installing instead of getting stuck on this? There are 
plenty of ways to install Gentoo!

* Use a universal live CD that has stages included so you don't have to 
  switch CDs
* Copy the stage CDs as iso images to your OS X partition and do loopback 
  mounts of the images
* Set up networking from the live CD and download the stages to your linux 
  partition
