port doesn't exit with proper return value

In base/src/port/port.tcl (what becomes ${prefix}/bin/port), proc
process_cmd returns $action_status which eventually becomes
$exit_status (and hence port's return value). However, it appears
this is always reset to 0 because of the part:
# If we're not in exit mode then ignore the status from the
command
if { ![macports::ui_isset ports_exit] } {
set action_status 0
}
At the end of port.tcl (line 2869 as of svn right now) is:
if {![info exists ui_options(ports_commandfiles)]} {
set ui_options(ports_exit) yes
}
So ports_exit should be set to yes, but that macports::ui_isset
doesn't seem to be noticing it. Are there issues with ui_options and
macports::ui_isset that's causing this?
Changing the bit in process_cmd to:
# If we're not in exit mode then ignore the status from the
command
if { ![info exists ui_options(ports_exit)] } {
set action_status 0
}
makes it work as it should.
