According to the history in that PR, Xin sent you a revised patch to test and everything now works OK for you? It seems that gradually, a wider and wider range of characters are being introduced into the pathnames FreeBSD uses. ISTR the same sort of update happening before now at least once. I guess this means there will be another EN for freebsd-update. Exactly when depends what and on how urgent the issues addressed by any SAs and ENs are. Most of the time EN's are only issued when there's a new crop of SA's ready to go, but considering this will affect peoples' ability to test 11.0 betas it might well come out separately. SecTeam generally doesn't pre-announce their release schedule, for fairly obvious reasons. > I have a number of production systems on 9.3 that need to be > upgraded.

There was a (fairly last minute) blocking issue that meant they had to do another round of BETAs. The schedule here is kept up to date: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.0R/schedule.html Estimated release date is the 9th September.
