If there are any further issues with weird patches enabled by default in the official gentoo build we should just re-open the bug.
No, please file a new bug for new issues.

Perhaps, sure. At least I guess that'd make sense if it's actually a new & completely unrelated issue...

But if the issue is the same substance (an ebuild with patches which breaks the expected behavior in one or more ways) it would seems appropriate to reuse the existing bug ID.

For future reference:

Please don't add monolithic "change all of the things" patchsets, as they're harder to debug when everything is just shoved together into a single patch with no commit history available to see which thing was added when and why.

Do you have a repository for this patchset somewhere?

Preferably with concise, yet still informative commit messages for each change as it was made?

Access to that information would be great for anyone who needs to help with the maintenance on this ebuild for the purposes of splitting things off to their own self-contained patches so each use flag has its own patch.
The patch is my 0.9.x-ljr branch.
You'll find splitting it up is not so easy (you'll get merge conflicts with different combinations).
