Sounds correct.

That is my understanding for FreeBSD. But early on
RPi* firmware and U-Boot have it operational. So
it can look like it is working before FreeBSD is
really on its own.

Yes.

I'm gradually/incrementally better approximating some
parts of your context reported in your notes. We
will see if I eventually make a change that gets the
problem.

# more /boot/loader.conf
# Configure USB OTG; see usb_template(4).
hw.usb.template=3
umodem_load="YES"
# Multiple console (serial+efi gop) enabled.
boot_multicons="YES"
#boot_serial="YES"
# Disable the beastie menu and color
#beastie_disable="YES"
#loader_color="NO"

That still works just fine via the RPi keyboard.

So, trying:

# more /boot/loader.conf
# Configure USB OTG; see usb_template(4).
hw.usb.template=3
umodem_load="YES"
# Multiple console (serial+efi gop) enabled.
#boot_multicons="YES"
#boot_serial="YES"
# Disable the beastie menu and color
#beastie_disable="YES"
#loader_color="NO"

For that it by default displays the:

5. Cons: Video

Beastie continues to work just fine, operated with
the RPi keyboard. The serial console is disabled,
the last line output being:

masks          0x00ff0000, 0x0000ff00, 0x000000ff, 0xff000000
