Comment:

 Yes, that is indeed the problem. If files are not registered, there's no
 way of telling which port created them or even whether they were created
 by a port at all. It's also possible that a past version of a port created
 some files but the current version doesn't. You more or less have to catch
 it in the act to be sure.
