I did something stupid and now can't uninstall a port

I have a port I'm working on, with a gui subport:
sheepshaver
sheepshaver-gui
I accidentally made a typo installing the subport, and I typed this:
sudo port -v install subport=sheepshaver=gui
now I have a port installed like this:
$ port -v installed | grep sheep
sheepshaver=gui @20171215_0 (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64' date='2017-12-19T16:50:16-0800'
and I can't uninstall it:
$ sudo port uninstall sheepshaver=gui
(does nothing)
$ sudo port uninstall sheepshaver
(does nothing)
$ port -v installed | grep sheep
sheepshaver=gui @20171215_0 (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64' date='2017-12-19T16:50:16-0800'
I can't seem to uninstall, deactivate, or otherwise work with this port.
If I install sheepshaver, and then try to
$ sudo port uninstall sheepshaver=gui
it uninstalls sheepshaver, but leaves sheepshaver=gui behind.
Weirdness.
