portupgrade, packages, and same versions

So I did show-and-tell on questions@, and nobody seems to know. Anyone here 
know why portupgrade has to be run twice when forcing an upgrade via 
packages? See example error below. It's a very minor thing, but I don't think 
it's the desired behavior. I'm running portupgrade 20040701_3 on 5.3-STABLE.
