I do understand the issue, I think: the glob is being expanded against the names of ports that still exist in the current ports tree, not the ones that have been installed but have been superseded by (in this case) an omnibus port that won't activate because of the existing installations.
The obvious workaround was to manually uninstall each of the zombie ports individually. I wonder if anyone else considers this a bug?
