OK I misunderstood. Sorry

You are saying that the port number should be dropped by the pfkey /
xfrm interface - OK
This is actually what happens. (BTW this is fortunate - in a few cases
racoon accidentally passes down 500)

I meant that the consensus was that the wire behavior is wrong.

What does "think thats not the case" mean? Its clearly stated in
2.3.3. Address Extension:

...
    The
    zeroing of ports (e.g. sin_port and sin6_port) MUST be done for all
    messages except for originating SADB_ACQUIRE messages, which SHOULD
    fill them in with ports from the relevant TCP or UDP session which
    generates the ACQUIRE message.
