I didn't really solve the freebsd-update problem, but I upgraded the machine in the following way: I did a binary upgrade from the CD, then csup'd the sources and recompiled the kernel. I guess if there continues to be a problem with freebsd-update, it may exhibit itself during normal updates as well.
