Using any python program gives:

CONTENTS file before pkgcore fubarred python

For the life of me, I can't replicate this. Few thoughts-

1. is there a /usr/lib symlink still?
2. merge failure in question, was this a fresh install? In other words, literally bootstrapping? if not, what was doing the merges previously? Always pkgcore, or mix of pkgcore/portage? If paludis kindly state also- each PM has slightly different merging/contents approaches, knowing what was involved would help to narrow the area to search for this issue.

Corrected in 0.4.4 (few issues afoot here- primarily portage installed contents aren't realpath'd, which pkgcore recently became sensitive to).
