Right, this allows cvsup to run.  But my UTC was generated today
-r--r--r--  4 root  wheel  118 Dec  2 12:42 /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC
when I did install world.

It seems that this file has some sort of incompatibility with something
(I have no idea what) which causes cvsup to dump core.

So, removing the file fixes a symptom, but not the cause.
