Further analysis (catalyzed by others' reports of failures at the same
place) shows that my earlier assertions about trying to write to
/usr/src are likely wildly inaccurate.
Rather, the problem seem to be the mode of the created files:
dhcp-140[1] cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/stallion
dhcp-140[2] ls -la {,/usr/obj/`pwd`/}bootcode
/usr/obj//usr/src/usr.sbin/stallion/bootcode:
total 79
drwxrwxr-x 2 root wheel 512 Sep 7 06:57 .
drwxrwxr-x 6 root wheel 512 Sep 7 05:50 ..

Since "root" on the client machine is treated as neither the root
user nor a member of the wheel group (by default), the attempt
to read the generated files fails, thus causing the install to fail.
Sorry for the confusion; it still seems that there's a problem, though.
Perhaps the "make buildworld" step could cause the generated files to
have a less-restrictive mode...?
