Well there might be some cases when die does not work fine, I am not sure.
But it IS designed to work in subshells.
Looking into /usr/lib/portage/bin/isolated-functions.sh: die basically calls
kill -s SIGTERM ${EBUILD_MASTER_PID}
and sigterm is catched in /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh
# subshell die support
EBUILD_MASTER_PID=$$
trap 'exit 1' SIGTERM
and btw. econf is also implemented as a function in ebuild.sh so it even is
executed inside the "main" ebuild bash process - no subshell here.
