Looking closer, I was wrong about it being a clean upgrade in my case.
The ports INDEX and INDEX.db (though not the ports tree) would have
been "corrupted" (by my regular ports tree update) partway through the
portupgrade.  I suspect it can be put down to operator error but can
provide my upgrade logs if you want to investigate.
