I have similar question about the 10.1-RELEASE-p1 update

I ran the update as:
# freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update install
# ezjail-admin update -u
# reboot

Yet when I run:
# freebsd-version -ku
10.1-RELEASE
10.1-RELEASE-p1

# uname -a
FreeBSD terra.michaeleichorn.com 10.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE #0
r274401: Tue Nov 11 21:02:49 UTC 2014
root at releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

Do I have a problem here or is this the expected behavior?

I thought that 'freebsd-version -k' would report the new patchlevel even
if there was not a kernel update.

For the record 'freebsd-update fetch' and 'freebsd-update install'
report no updates to install.
