Then running port fetch outdated, macports now begins building ports that actually have had files downloaded, instead of just downloading the wanted distfiles.

Can't tell because you didn't provide enough output, but probably something has a fetch dependency on e.g. git-core, so upgrading that and its dependencies first is the expected behaviour.

Definitely a non-issue: ImageMagick uses 7z, which isn't installed by default.

If 7z is outdated and/or not installed, MacPorts must install it in order to complete your requested command of downloading the new file for ImageMagick (part of your outdated set).

I would tend to agree with the resolution, but it can't have been 7z because (a) the upgrade would be happening for the dependencies of something that had not yet been fetched, and (b) p7zip is a depends_extract for ImageMagick, not a depends_fetch.

Oh, and (c) p7zip has no dependencies...
