I found a few issues:

1. An empty label in the partition editor shows up as (null) when
modifying the partition.
2. Create a single partition covering the entire disk with a GPT
scheme and you get prompted to create a freebsd-boot partition. It
displays an error saying there's no space left but displays the
freebsd-boot partition in the list.
3. Modifying freebsd-ufs to freebsd-zfs in the partition editor seems
to confuse bsdinstall - I know ZFS probably isn't supported.
4. Going back into bsdinstall after installation and going through the
steps again failed when it tried to extract (null)/kernel.tgz . It said
it was an invalid URL scheme.
