--- Comment #4 from Morgan Vandagriff <morgan@vandagriff.org> ---
I discovered a workaround which may be of interest: the issue observed with
freebsd-update is apparently related to behavior of the
py27-google-compute-engine package installed by default on the FreeBSD GCE
images. If one uninstalls the package prior to upgrading, all proceeds
normally.

I have a theory that the issue may proceed from py-google-compute-engine's
tendency to overwrite certain files in /etc every few seconds whenever it is
running. While I'm lacking an understanding of the internals of freebsd-upd=
ate,
it seems plausible that this could somehow give rise to the hangs I observe=
d.
