Agreed - and that's exactly an example of a case where some form of requiring
trace mode in the portfile would be useful.
As to fixing ... the experience many of use have had with /usr/local can
probably serve as an example/metaphor for why it's not always feasible to avoid
including the wrong version of a header... (and I guess it should be easier to
exclude or demote a directory from outside the prefix than to exclude/demote
${prefix}/include ...)
I wasn't completely PC about the exchange I had on the Qt ML: apparently
attempts had been made to correct the particular issue I reported, which turned
out to be too tricky.
