What, if anything, is the meaning of my cat's new behavior (see details)?

He is eight years old. In the last three days he’s begun licking his front paws and legs furiously whenever I scratch his back by the base of his tail. He’s always loved being scratched at that spot, and has always done the bow-down, but this frantic and seemingly compulsive paw-licking is new and quite weird. Is it just a cat thing, as this board suggests? Or is he trying to tell me he needs his anal glands expressed, or something?
