-CURRENT misreports cpu speed on an G4?

Hello,

Yesterday I csup'ed FreeBSD on my Powermac G4 (it was running
the 200701 snapshot of -CURRENT) to the layest -CURRENT and started
building world. It finished today (a 533 MHz G4 isn't very fast), and I
installed the newly built world. After booting the machine I noticed
that the dmesg now says that I have a 200 MHz cpu:
tingo at kg-g4$ dmesg | grep cpu
cpu0: Motorola PowerPC 7400 revision 2.9, 200.00 MHz
cpu0: HID0 8094c0a4<EMCP,DOZE,DPM,EIEC,ICE,DCE,SGE,BTIC,BHT>

But it used to report the speed correctly:
tingo at kg-g4$ grep cpu /tmp/g4-dmesg-7.0-CURRENT-200701_20070114.txt
cpu0: Motorola PowerPC 7400 revision 2.9, 533.33 MHz
cpu0: HID0 8094c0a4<EMCP,DOZE,DPM,EIEC,ICE,DCE,SGE,BTIC,BHT>

Other than that, I gaven't found anything wrong yet.
A full dmesg and more info for those interested is on my FreeBSD G4
