I would rather not have a build published than potentially ship broken

But in all three cases there are no binary packages for the packages
with problems (and their dependencies). So there is no difference
here.

I'm not convinced this is true. For example if an older binary package of the dependency is still lying around in PACKAGES, coupled with pkg_add's behaviour to automatically pull in dependencies.

It _might_ be true, but there's no way I'm going to claim with 100% confidence that it is, there are just too many unknown unknowns, and
I'm never going to take risks with my users.
