Just a data point...

I saw the same. I had issues with both a current system and a 
14.3-RELEASE VM that had been baseified.

The 14.3 system presented slightly differently but the end results were 
the same.

Thankfully these were VMs so rolling back wasn't a major issue but it 
does highlight that the lack of a boot environment tie in like 
freebsd-update has is an issue.
