This problem is solved now that WITH_NEW_XORG is on its way out.

I just want to explain why we couldn't have different PORT_REVISION for
the WITH_NEW_XORG flavour and the "normal" flavour packages. Both
packages build and publication aren't particularily synchronized. So for
example, during day #1, we have _5 for the non-WITH_NEW_XORG package and
_6 for the WITH_NEW_XORG package. We make some updates and increment to
_7/_8 respectively. But we have no control on which will appear first in
the repositories: a user could get the wrong one and be in the same
situation you had. A better solution would be priorities or package
pinning, but we don't have that yet.
