It does look like your qlist is out of date and giving you a --help summary
which the outer qlist tries to interpret, and fails.
If you can't update the package qlist comes from, you might get by with
replacing the inner qlist with equery. It gives output like this:
$ equery --quiet list '*'
app-admin/apache-tools-2.2.14
app-admin/apg-2.3.0b-r4
app-admin/empower-9999
which looks the same as the output from qlist -ICv:
$ qlist -ICv | head -n3
app-admin/apache-tools-2.2.14
app-admin/apg-2.3.0b-r4
app-admin/empower-9999
This requires gentoolkit-0.3* which is ~
