8.0-BETA1 bsdlabel broken?

This system was source-upgrade from 7.2-RELEASE to 8.0-BETA1 a couple of
days ago.

Today I had a nasty surprise when I fired up bsdlabel to increase the
size of a swap partition.  I booted the system off the 7.2-RELEASE live
filesystem CD and its bsdlabel displayed "normal" labels.  I used the
bsdlabel off the 7.2 livefs CD to edit the label.

Here's what I see from 8.0-BETA1.  Scary stuff!

rwsrv05# bsdlabel da0s1
# /dev/da0s1:

partition c: partition extends past end of unit
bsdlabel: partition c doesn't start at 0!
bsdlabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities
partition f: partition extends past end of unit
