Comment (by RJVB):

 My hunch was correct: the issue disappeared when I uninstalled port:xattr.
 It seems I must have installed that port a few months ago for reasons I
 can't remember. Either I didn't realise the command was available through
 the system, or I thought MacPorts has a newer version (as for so many) and
 didn't notice that's not the case here.

 So yeah, I think the proper way to pull in port:xattr is via a standard
 depspec but only on OS version(s) that require it. And maybe port:xattr
 should be marked obsolete on all other platforms?
