CCed to pkg at FreeBSD.org where the discussion deserves to be :)

No you are missing nothing in fact we haven't handled yet options multual
exclusion.

I haven't thought that anyway one will do a pkg info -rd so I didn't test what
could be happening here :)

thanks for reporting, definitly something to work on, don't know yet what should
be done here:
either say "hey you can't pass -r and -d at the same time" which would be the
easy fix :) or output things like you suggested which will be less easy
