FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-arm-armv7-RPI2-20171227-r327236.img.xz is from
the version range with ubldr.bin broken : 326914 < 327236 < 327351.
No snapshot spans -r327351 yet. No available 12.0-CURRENT snapshot
from the standard places is old enough to avoid the problem. I have
not checked the status of what might be in:

FreeBSD-11.1-STABLE-arm-armv6-RPI2-20171227-r327234.img.xz

as far as ubldr.bin or ubldr goes.

In general publication in the snapshots area does not mean things
are generally working well in what was built. It is closer to the
initially-known-status being: build not having obviously failed.

There also is no standard place for (mostly) notes about the status
of snapshots. I do not expect that the likes of:

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-snapshots/2017-December/thread.html

is intended for such postings.

No problem.
