Since all of my filesystems on my 7.0 system are ZFS, I've been making
a copy of freebsd-update with the "chflag" calls commented out. Since
ZFS doesn't support flags yet, this is harmless.
If any of your primary filesystems are not ZFS, this is not a good
solution.
If you go this route, you'll have to watch for changes to
freebsd-update and reapply them.
I expect that once ZFS is no longer considered experimental,
freebsd-update will have a way to handle this.
