But I don't get how the additional checking you introduced would prevent this from happening (I cannot speak the details of tcl though). Neither I understand how only portfiles of these 15 out of ~130 ports that have subports/are subports were left in the registry. Only thing that widly comes to mind — I haven't modified their portfiles locally, but AFAIR of dependents on these while interrupting vim's editing process, but again that would have meant leaving orphaned dirs for other ports too.

Don't delete anything from the database, its contents are correct (and 
have been the whole time). You can delete the portfiles that are in a 
directory named after a port (or version of a port) that is not 
installed. Those should have been deleted on uninstall.
