Oh very good, thank you. (I misunderstood what UNAME_r means; now I see the
correlation to "uname -r".) For any onlookers, the following worked for me:

env UNAME_r=3D10.0-RELEASE freebsd-update -b /j/test -r 10.1 upgrade

# work through merging etc

env UNAME_r=3D10.0-RELEASE freebsd-update -b /j/test -r 10.1 install

# ignore the message to reboot and repeat the last until you see "done".
