Question on solving a bug (or if it is a bug)

Hello everyone!
I've been running freebsd servers for some time now and a bug started 
appearing roughly the time that the new /usr/ports/ports-mgmt tree 
appeared and the old /usr/ports/sysutils was removed.  I've been trying 
to fix this for days, but I'm not sure how to and I think it might be a bug.
Here is what I do to get a bug:
server1: cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade
server1: make deinstall package

A new package gets created in /usr/ports/packages/All.

server1: scp /usr/ports/packages/All/portupgrade-2.2.2_4,2.tbz 
server2:/usr/ports/packages/All

I then go to server2
server2: cd /usr/ports/packages/All
server2: pkg_add -v portupgrade-2.2.2_4,2.tbz

Here's the output I get:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Note that it is trying to CWD into a null directory and that causes the 
core dump.

The same thing happens on my dovecot packages as well.  I'm sure that 
others have the same problem.  I don't have the option to build the port 
on the remote system, otherwise I would do that.  I have to use a 
package to perform the task.  Is this a bug or something in my 
environment that I am not seeing?

My system is a 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD system.
