Depending which tool is used to create a gentoo arbitrary binary package,
internal structure of the generated package differs here.
Testing here: | Code: | emerge --buildpkgonly virtual/man
These are the packages that would be built, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies ..... done!
Dependency resolution took 13.01 s (backtrack: 0/20).

Plz note the containing directory in the tar 'man-0-r4-1' matches the file name.

-rw-r--r-- 0/0 881 2024-10-28 19:46 man-0-r4/Manifest |
Plz note the containing directory name in the tar 'man-0-r4' which DOES'NT matches the file name, i.e. 'man-0-r4-2'.
I'd expect both commands results to be more consistent 
What may be missing here?

It's not about different tools. It's about the specification of GPKG format.
I had the same question. |

Indeed
FEATURES=-binpkg-multi-instance brings:
Consistency between binary package names between tools.
Consistency between the binary package name and its content, whatever tool is used.
Let's call it full consistency.
I think this is a little # issue:
FEATURES=binpkg-multi-instance brings
Consistency between binary package names between tools.
Consistency between the binary package name and its content, when using emerge.
Inconsistency between the binary package name and its content, when using quickpkg.

Does this mean the result binary package can (or cannot) be use interchangeable?
i.e. can quickpkg created package be use by emerge -K and vice versa? |

| The binary package can be used just fine. I am not sure the containing directory actually matters, here. |

Indeed, emerge -K works fine in both cases. 
Plz note quickpkg belongs to sys-apps/portage.
So the same package provide 2 ways to generate the same kind of an object with internal differences.
As soon as you want to inspect a binary package content, there is an alternative depending how the package has been generated.
Things could be simpler, more consistent.
Time for me to find how to patch quickpkg accordingly...

It so happened I put the blame on quickpkg because generated internal root directory doesn't mach binary package file name, which endswith -{multi-indice}.gpkg.tar.
Considering the other way round seems also valid: generated internal root directory should only strictly refers to pf. From this pov emerge would be to blame.
