Am I doing it wrong, or am I tripping over > real problems/limitations of the ports machinery? Well, you are tripping over the b2) issue, you already outlined. Its scope is a bit stretched, though, since I did not consider the PYTHON_MAJOR_VER stuff, I think. I'll have a look at that the next days and think of something terribly complex that apparently will fix your issue, but really will only make the problem less easy to reveal and occur more randomly based on the daytime and last command executed :-).
