I'm not sure it's anything broken with FreeBSD; more likely, it's that the stack changed and the fingerprints haven't been updated. If I had to guess, it's the current flavor of syncookies/syncache. Not sure how you report new signatures to Netcraft -- nmap seems to do the right thing. Any time there are observable changes in a network stack, fingerprinting techniques are likely to get confused.
