(In reply to cmh from comment #0)

Correction to paragraph 2 of original report (apologies hit send too quickly):

In deep boot environments, the action taken by freebsd-update (bectl create)
results in >>>>a copy of the ROOT dataset without the subordinate datasets. In
other words, freebsd-update is creating a partial backup, and there is no full
backup of the boot environment, contrary to expectations.<<<<< This is
unhelpful at best, and at worst provides a false sense of security should a
restore be necessary.
