The change in question is effectively a nop.  It does not remove the
initialization of _localbase as you claim; it moves it from one place
(/usr/sbin/periodic) to another (/etc/defaults/periodic.conf).  The
former reads the latter just a few lines below where it previously used
to initialize _localbase.  Did you forget to run etcupdate?
