freebsd-update problem (on 6.2)

I did cvsup to RELENG_6_2 today and make build(world|kernel) 
install(kernel|world)

After mergemaster & reboot uname reports 6.2-RELEASE-p3 but 
`freebsd-update fetch` downloads patches "to 6.2-RELEASE-p3" so I 
installed them by `freebsd-update install`.

uname reports 6.2-RELEASE-p2 after reboot!

If I try to run freebsd-update fetch again, I got this:
---------
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 1 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature from update1.FreeBSD.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.
Preparing to download files... done.

The following files are affected by updates, but no changes have
been downloaded because the files have been modified locally:
/etc/rc.d/jail

No updates needed to update system to 6.2-RELEASE-p3.
----------


So there is definitely something wrong - uname reports p2, 
freebsd-update p3 and at last /etc/rc.d/jail seems to it locally 
modified, but it is not! The whole system is "GENERIC" without any 
modifications.
