I have been building current twice daily for a while and didn't notice 
this regression but I do have the space after "-j"

   #!/bin/sh
    make -j 16 buildworld              > /logs/bw.$$ 2>&1 && \
    make -j 8 kernel KERNCONF=GENERIC  > /logs/bk.$$ 2>&1 && \
    sync && reboot

I grepped all my logs across 3 servers and did not see a single instance 
of [_cleanworldtmp] Error code ... in any of the logs.  What was the hash 
of the build you were on there, I can try to reproduce it quickly (but it 
might only trigger with your builddir state I guess)
