Got it thanks.

I noticed in that thread some of the work arounds basically amounted to doing 
little tricks to /dev/null which would cause some internal things to initialize 
and behave normally after that.  But then since then I copied over my .bashrc 
to this new computer and now the problem has gone away, so something about 
having an actual .bashrc with a few lines of stuff in it…causes something in 
bash to initialize whatever it needs to initialize so that this problem doesn’t 
seem to occur.  When I was getting the error I was in the process of setting up 
a new system and .bashrc only had one line setting the PATH and nothing else.  

Anyway, hopefully that will end up in macports bash eventually then.
