Ok, this is strange.

I just upgraded from 7.2-prerelease (as of 20090401) to 7.2-stable as
of today, using csup and building world.

As part of that process I did (as I always do) 'mergemaster -iU' after
the 'make installworld' step.
A few files on my machines are modified by me, and thus should nevber
be upgraded:
/etc/dhclient.conf
/etc/motd (mergemeaster will usually ask about this - this time it did
not, it claimed it wasn't user modified, huh?)
/etc/profile
/root/.profile
/etc/passwd (mergemaster sked about it, I pressed 'd', but it was still
upgraded, ugh!)
/etc/group (mergemaster sked about it, I pressed 'd', but it was still
upgraded, ugh!)

It can be more files, I haven't found out yet.

Has anyone else seen this?

I am upgrading my next machine, this time I'll have backups and keep
better notes.
