thanks to Dan and Florian, i believe i've identified the bug here and i filed a pkg PR: https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/2496
unfortunately i don't know enough about pkg to know what the right fix is, so this might need to wait until bapt is back to look at it. note that (as i think i mentioned earlier) this problem should not have broken anyone's systems: that's a separate issue which should be fixed soon.
