portmaster glitch with /usr/ports/MOVED

I made the mistake of telling portmaster-3.17.3 to build
mail/mutt-devel instead of mail/mutt. Evidently portmaster sees the
port has moved based on /usr/ports/MOVED, which is good, but it 
erroneously calls pkg, apparently without arguments, and the remaining
output looks a bit broken.
