Looks like neither shellescape nor quotemeta are documented in the guide.

Perhaps with good reason:

MacML @21:03:49.192:: Error: Failed to extract curl-ca-bundle: invalid command name 
"shellescape"

Whoops, didn't realize that it had only just been made available in the not yet 
released MacPorts 2.7.0 for Portfiles to use. Fixed:

This happens on 10.5, 10.8, and 10.12.  The missing binary archives are 
consistent with this.


That's unrelated.

Actually, it probably is related, though for a different reason than I was suggesting. :-) Presumably the only reason that the upgrade didn't fail for the other OS versions was because of the availability of the binary archives. The fact that those existed suggests that the buildbots are running with a prerelease version of base, which is why they worked (except when the buildbots weren't working for other reasons).

I'm not convinced that using a prerelease version of base on the buildbots is a good idea, though. What would make more sense is to have CI jobs covering both the prerelease and release versions, but to stick to the release version on the buildbots for maximum consistency with what end users would see.
