I had no idea till now. I also have a 13-stable amd64 desktop without
BE-anything, but this has been freebsd since freebsd-10 and
has always followed -stable. It doesn't have zfs-on-root.

The rpi4 is zfs-on-root. I have since removed -current
and did a fresh 13.1-p2 install and it has a "normal" bectl
output. The system arrived at its broken configuration (wrt BE-thing)
because it went from 13R-p2 to -current and I did the upgrade in the
usual source upgrade way. I guess now there's extra step(s) that
were missed. I don't usually run zfs-on-root.
