As indicated above, that's actually a change to the long standing 
behaviour; personally, I'm inclined to just block _p0 from being used 
in ebuild version (meaning repoman).

Reasoning is simple enough- we disallow -r0 from being used for 
similar reasons (if it's implicit, adding it makes uniqueness annoying 
further it's unneeded).

My 2 cents at least.
