2.3.5 is indeed the immediately previous release, and this is all 
perfectly normal when you have a locally generated PortIndex. You don't 
want to update the index using the old version of base (which is after 
all still what is running until it exits), so it defers that until the 
next time you sync.

We put this in when users were seeing parse failures of some ports that 
were using features that only existed in the new base version.
