Sorry to reply to my own post, but I want to be sure to document as much as I can in this thread, in case someone else ever encounters a similar problem. py-xml also failed to deinstall cleanly. So there's the common factor. After cleaning up and reinstalling py-reportlab and py-xml, I ran portmaster --check-depends and noticed that it updated the REQUIRED_BY for each of them. (I'd noticed the same thing yesterday for py-imaging after I had updated to the new version.)
