It works, but why?

Is that are committer's mistake?

You don't have the plugins-bad package installed. Thus, you can't run portmaster on it to upgrade (portmaster gstreamer-plugins-bad). Instead, you have to tell portmaster to install it from the ports tree (portmaster multimedia/gstreamer-plugins-bad).

Or, if you don't need it, then just ignore it.
