The solution ended up being simple (and silly), although I'm not sure how the problem could have happened. Perhaps if other Gentoo-ers end up with the same problem, this thread will be useful. It turns out I had a full set of (incorrect) udev rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/, while the correct rules were located in /lib/udev/rules.d/. The rules in /etc came about somehow; perhaps when upgrading udev a while ago, they weren't deleted. In any case, they were clobbering the correct rules on boot. The solution was to just delete all files in /etc/udev/rules.d/ that are not maintained by my package manager. udev (apparently) will search in /lib/udev/rules.d/ after /etc, and will find the correct files.
