emerge sync hoses portage

[IvanHoe]

After an emerge sync I get the error "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'match'. After that I cannot do anything in portage (including emerge sync). I was doing a fresh install of a system when this happened, so I cleaned it off and started again and right at the end of emerge sync (where it says it's updating the portage cache) is where I get the error.

Same thing happens here:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Yep, broke one of my systems too. There's a bug filed on this:

Well, I hope it'll be resolved soon, because it's kind of a show stopper.

Yup, bugfix is in the bugzilla entry :
