I learned a little Portuguese to learn the lyrics to a song that I like. I know some French and some Spanish and I concluded that Portuguese is a combination of French and Spanish. There seems to be a bit of a consonant shift remnant in the feature you mentioned.
A consonant shift that took place in Europe included the replacement, of sorts, of the "r" with "s" and the way "t" is pronounced, this may be a remnant stuck in the middle of a blended language. That's the simplest way to put it, just a thought.
