You cannot trust the commented examples in rc.conf to be the defaults. I reckon they are just that - typical examples. If you search through rc.conf for the word "default" you find quite a few cases where the text says what the default is and the example is something different. In other words, the default is, um, not actually documented anywhere. This is a bit of a fail actually as you now have to fiddle with settings, make them this, reboot, make them that, reboot, see what the difference is. Sloppy maintenance if you ask me. I'd advise you to file a bug (feature request) asking for the defaults to be clearly documented where someone other than the principle dev can find them.
You guys already did this thread: http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-user/msg_513fd0fbcdf0fc95f5561684e80301f8.xml
