That's by design. When fetching fails, it can't tell whether it's a temporary problem, or perhaps the EGIT_REPO_URI in ebuild changed and it's trying to fetch from the old repository — in which case rebuilding is necessary to update the metadata (nevertheless, this still isn't perfect and won't catch moving repos when the old URI still works). If you don't have it to rebuild on errors -E option is available.
