To be honest, I guess I didn't really pay much attention to what the filesystem
layout was before the upgrade. It's one of those things that just is, and I
don't think much about it. So some of my assumptions about exactly what changed
may be wrong. The original installation was from a 12.1-RELEASE USB image, and
I used the default installation options. I later migrated to 12-STABLE from
source and now 13-CURRENT from source. It wasn't until the 13-CURRENT migration
that this issue arose.

To be completely transparent, though, my original subversion checkout of the
13-CURRENT code became corrupted somehow, and I ended up installing a 13 kernel
but only a partially built 13 userland because, unknown to me at the time, the
buildworld process failed. As a result, my system was somewhat borked. I had to
run a "make installworld" from my previously built 12-STABLE source directory
to get a working userland again, reboot into the old kernel, checkout
13-CURRENT source again, rebuild, and then reinstall the kernel and world from
a properly built 13-CURRENT system. Reinstalling a 12-STABLE world after having
already tried installing a 13 world might have introduced something that caused
issues. In any case, this temporary rollback to the 12-STABLE world/userland
was the only abnormal part of my upgrade process.
