Port building cookie files changed?

I have noticed some strange behaviour in the last two weeks which
didn't make sense, but also which wasn't unresolved with a make
clean...

In an old ports framework, the cookie files were like this:
    .patch_done.ipv6calc-0.51._usr_local

In the current framework, the cookie files are like this:
    .patch_done.ipv6calc._usr_local

This gives false, or bad, or broken, cookies, because when I rebuild
the same port with a different version number, it thinks it already
has done the patching (and extracting, and building etc).

So... who sneaked this in bsd.port.mk and why?
