If I understand you correctly, then it's the intended behavior. If the
flag is masked in both package.use.mask and package.use.stable.mask,
then the package.use.stable.mask setting is irrelevant because both
package.use.mask and package.use.stable.mask are considered when
calculating use.mask settings for any given package.
