Yep, you seem to be right :) Someone will surely ask what version of portage you're using, so I may as well ask it first. I tend to use app-portage/eix instead of emerge for searching functions, so if you're in the mood for experiments you could try installing that and initialize its database (/var/cache/eix/portage.eix) with eix-update. Assuming that worked, search for mythtv with 'eix mythtv' and you should see any available and installed versions. This should at least distract you from worrying about a portage bug :)
