I see. I am using sysutils/freebsd-snapshot which does renaming for
rotation.
Well, if there is not fix for this in sight, I will probably have to look
into a different snapshotting strategy and adopt backup scripts and stuff
accordingly.

I think freebsd-snapshot does the same, so this would not change anything
for me. Thanks for the hint.
