Multiple installation issues when installing via civihydra on non-standard ports

I do local development with this environment that uses alternate ports.
The tool civihydra takes a CiviCRM archive (e.g. civicrm-5.4.1-wordpress.zip), creates a barebones CMS, and lets you go through the web-based installer. This installer differs from the headless/CLI routines used for day-to-day git-based dev.
When I run civihydra with the D7 and WP builds (e.g. civihydra create https://download.civicrm.org/civicrm-5.4.1-wordpress.zip), I get problems -- but they are different problems.

For the moment, I just want to file something so this doesn't get permanently forgotten. We can split into separate issues if appropriate.

Observations:

For D7 sites, the civicrm.settings.php always has a malformed value of CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL.
- This started sometime in 4.7.x but I haven't traced it.
For WP sites, the civicrm.settings.php has a suitable value of CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL. However, the auto-detection of [civicrm.files] does not work correctly.
- The problem is visible on every 5.x that I checked in (incl 5.0, 5.2, 5.5), so it started somewhere during 4.7.x. However, going back further -- to 4.7.20 -- the civihydra command does work.

1. I do local development [with this environment](https://github.com/totten/bknix) that uses alternate ports. 
2. The tool `civihydra` takes a CiviCRM archive (e.g. `civicrm-5.4.1-wordpress.zip`), creates a barebones CMS, and lets you go through the web-based installer. This installer differs from the headless/CLI routines used for day-to-day git-based dev.

For the moment, I just want to file *something* so this doesn't get permanently forgotten. We can split into separate issues if appropriate.

Observations:

* For D7 sites, the `civicrm.settings.php` always has a malformed value of `CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL`.
    * This started sometime in 4.7.x but I haven't traced it.
