Comment:

 Disclaimer: This is my first time looking at proc foreachport and proc
 action_info so I may be (completely) wrong ;).

 The error message may be a little misleading; it's not returned because
 the 'current' pseudo-port is asked for, but because portinfo is unset.

 The other pseudo-ports, such as installed, work because they pass a
 portlist that contains portspecs with *no* porturl set ($portspec(url) ==
 "").  When no porturl is set, an if block in action_info is executed that
 uses mportsearch to return portinfo, an array that contains the associated
 information in PortIndex.

 The all pseudo-port uses the proc get_all_ports to populate portlist with
 portspecs that contain a url key.  As a result, the if block is never
 executed, and information from the PortIndex is not read.
