This seems like the result of a hasty bugfix to me:
  https://bugs.gentoo.org/23627
  
http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/eclass/eutils.eclass?r1=1.36&r2=1.37

Wrong group ownership shouldn't matter much, since ebuilds should
probably explicitly set home directory ownership / permissions with
fowners / fperms anyway (in src_install()). However, that doesn't work
due to:
  https://bugs.gentoo.org/396153

Having a switch for enewuser to skip creating home directory would
solve the issue for majority of usecases, but a request I opened was
resolved as a duplicate of the bug above (which I don't expect to be
resolved anytime soon):
  https://bugs.gentoo.org/395961
