As far as I can tell, the HDF5 group's position is that they are used for storing critical data (output from experiments that you don't want to have to "re-do"), so they don't ever want to be the cause of errors from unintentional / unexpected behavior, even if the program can happily link.

No; bumping the epoch is not sufficient; you must change the revision or version for MacPorts to see it as an upgrade.
