In my experience, Portage handles it well
The way (+) and (-) work depends upon the EAPI of the things they're being matched against (not the EAPI of the package with the dependencies). When developers are adding in >= dependencies to restrict to matching against EAPI 5 things (as they have to do for multilib, for example), they would need to check the CVS log to see if any ebuild has *ever* been EAPI < 5. It's less work and less error-prone for developers to just always do a bump when switching to EAPI 5. -- Ciaran McCreesh
