releng/13 release/13.0.0 : odd/incorrect diff result over nfs (in a zfs file systems context)

[I warn that I'm a fairly minimal user of NFS
mounts, not knowing all that much. I'm mostly
reporting this in case it ends up as evidence
via eventually matching up with others observing
possibly related oddities.]

I got the following odd sequence (that I've
mixed notes into). It involved a diff -r over NFS
showing differences (files missing) and then a
later diff finding matches for the same files,
no file system changes made on either machine.
I'm unable to reproduce the oddity on demand.

Note: A larger scope diff -r originally returned the
below as well, but doing the narrower diff -r did
repeat the result and that is what I show. (I
make no use of devel/ice .)

Note: The above was not expected. So I tried:

Note: So that indicated that the files were there on the
machine that /mnt references. So attempting the original
diff -r again:

# diff -r /usr/ports/devel/ice/files /mnt/devel/ice/files | more
#

(Empty difference.)

Note: So after the explicit "ls -Tld /mnt/devel/ice/files/*"
the odd result of the diff -r no longer happened: no
differences reported.

From zfs list commands (one machine per line shown):

zopt0/usr/ports                           2.13G   236G     2.13G  /usr/ports
zroot/usr/ports                           2.13G   113G     2.13G  /usr/ports

I've no clue if ZFS is important to the odditity
or not.

The original mount command was on CA72_16Gp_ZFS:

# mount -onoatime,soft 192.168.1.170:/usr/ports/ /mnt/

The network is just a local EtherNet.
