None that I'm aware of.

How would I recognize brokenness ? The files that should be there
are there.

I've tried, and it showed pkg-1.14.6 as it should be.

Status-update: Our package builder (repo.nepustil.net) finished
build for a new pkg-repo, and now the upgrade went through without
regression to pkg-1.10.5_1 8-}
