Some follow-up info...

I have contacted devel/jenkins's maintainer, Li-Wen Hsu, and have opened 
a new bug:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=235356

Li-Wen reports that he can't reproduce the problem in 12.0 or CURRENT, 
with pkg 1.10.5_5.  (I am also using pkg 1.10.5_5, but on 11.2.)

A very similar (possibly identical) bug in was fixed in 2014:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193670

The issue was also in devel/jenkins-lts, also fixed in 2014:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=194274
