are you able to reproduce this on a clean system (e.g., in a chroot)?
if so, the particular sequence of commands that triggers it would be
useful to have.

also, please show the output of this command on the affected system:

pkg info | awk '/^FreeBSD-set-/ { print $1 }' | xargs pkg query '%n %V'

i've tested this here and even if FreeBSD-set-src isn't marked as vital
prior to the upgrade, it becomes vital after updating, which seems to be
the expected behaviour from a quick inspection of the pkg(8) source.
