Because "tp" is a rather odd kind of release. Neither I nor the Gentoo
package manger knows what it means. The version number has to be
recognizable and sortable. The package manager knows that version
"4.4.0_rc1" is < "4.4.0" because it is coded to recognize the meaning of
"rc". It will also know that "4.4c" is < "4.4d" because there are a
handful projects that use such version numbering patterns.  But you can
not expect the Gentoo package manager to recognize any strange release
type abbreviation that anyone can dream up.
