I wonder if this is our of emerge's fault. It seems that emerge only puts itself into minor-modes-list to get an entry in the modeline and it doesn't use minor-mode-map-alist, but some custom local-map. This would explain why the SLIME bindings override the emerge keys, since key lookup always looks at the minor-mode-map-alist before searching in the local-map. Do the problems persist if you turn SLIME off?
Turning slime-mode off does fix it, so it's not a big problem. And yeah, it does seem likely to be their fault, since there's nothing exotic about our having a minor mode that binds some keys.
