Wow. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I recently got a new mac and I decided to give brew a spin as my package manager. I was unimpressed with many aspects of the experience- for example, getting weird snarky messages and incorrect advice when I attempted to install texlive- but this seals it.
Back to Macports it is. I'll be sure to tell others about this.
