I got the exactly same happen to me with 6.1-RELEASE updated just after 
6.1 was released. Didn't think about the weirdness really until now 
seeing your messages. The symptoms were exactly the same, /var/dmesg 
file was empty right after the boot and of course dmesg command didn't 
print the booting messages either.

Things seems to be normalized for me with 6.1-STABLE from yesterday, but 
haven't booted since buildworld process after which I got proper dmesg 
output.
