Is it not reasonable to expect the port in this case, even if it was previously installed as a dependency, to still be marked as requested in this case, as that is what the user did by asking for it to be installed. The fact it already was shouldn’t matter in terms of marking it as requested ?

If you mean that running `sudo port install` on a port that is already installed should mark it as requested, then that's https://trac.macports.org/ticket/55085.
