I had duplicated the directory tree that held the virtual machine on Mac OS X before booting FreeBSD in VirtualBox to install the kernel and world. This was running -r297769.

When I boot the -r297769 11.0 virtual machine instead of the -r298793 one the problem does not occur.

Both -r297769 and -r298793 11.0-'s have /usr/ports -r414369 and the ports were built before the -r298793 buildworld/buildkernel was done. And both -r297769 and -r298793 11.0's are running under the same vintage of Virtual Box (5.0.20 r106931).

So what is different is just the FreeBSD vintage.

11.0's -r297769 virtual machine does contain the buildworld/buildkernel /usr/obj material for -r298793, it is just not installed.
