regression: tmpfs in /etc/fstab results in boot stoppage

Hi,

I've updated to r335297 on STABLE-11. My root fs is ZFS, and /etc/fstab is:

# Device                Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump    Pass#
/dev/gpt/irontree-swap  none            swap    sw              0       0
tmpfs                   /home/jonc/.cache tmpfs rw,size=512m,late       0 2

My /etc/rc.conf also contains:
background_fsck="NO"

When I reboot the system, the kernel boots; but the startup scripts fail with:

fsck: exec fsck_tmpfs for tmpfs in /sbin/:/usr/sbin: No such file or directory
THE FOLLOWING FILE SYSTEM HAD AN UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY:
  tmpfs: tmpfs (/home/jonc/.cache)

The system continues booting up as usual once I exit single-user mode.
The system used to boot up with any intervention prior to this.

Cheers.
