port uninstall: dep check broken?

Does the following make sense in some strange way, or is this simply
a bug?

$ port installed apr
The following ports are currently installed:
  apr @1.2.12_1+darwin_9 (active)
  apr @1.2.8_0
$ sudo port uninstall apr @1.2.8_0
--->  Unable to uninstall apr 1.2.8_0, the following ports depend on it:
--->  	apr-util
--->  	subversion
--->  	subversion-perlbindings
--->  	subversion
Error: port uninstall failed: Please uninstall the ports that depend
on apr first.

Basically, I have 2 installed ports with different variants used. But
the dependency
check on uninstall does not seem to recognize the one with the variant
"darwin_9"
and complains, even though it should be happy, since the newer version
is there,
and dependencies are oblivious of variants (and versions). That looks
wrong to me.
