That revision is beta3:

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/340039

Are you sure you installed the RC1 image?

As I reported earlier:
Disabling SMP with head gives a system behaving nicely. Enabling SMP and
reverting r334498 gives me a usable system, with two limitation I observed
so far:
1. After a while the fans get louder. Running sysctl -a dev.fcu.0
   gets them down again. After a while they will start to get
   louder again.

2. When shutting down the system,
   Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system thread `bufdaemon' to stop...
   Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system thread `bufspacedaemon-1' to stop...
   Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system thread `bufspacedaemon-0' to stop...
   times out.

Best regards
