Sure, but this seems more like a portage bug (or at least a portage output bug) rather than a fundamental issue. After all, there was no true block - just a need for a rebuild. I heard prerm as a reason why dynamic deps can break (especially with slot operator deps, though obviously it also breaks for non-slot-operator deps that should be expressed as such), though as has been pointed out those will break unless we unmerge and remerge all reverse-deps on every upgrade. Are there other issues. To be honest I was expecting a plethora of issues that can go wrong with dynamic deps, but so far I'm hearing something like 2-3, and if that really is all that there is then this may be a solvable issue.
