Tracked down (somewhat) to related issue: freebsd/poudriere#221
The mtree error results in not installing the updates.
It's pretty good to verify with the timestamp of /usr/bin/ftp

Once I found poudriere is all shell scripts it was a bit easier to follow.
The "distro string" is built by means of some hacks in poudriere and completely independent of an working update. (function update_version does it)
It needs to run before the freebsd-update call which then believes the version poudriere set up.

Now. freebsd-update fails with the mtree error, and thus does not ever really update.
It looks ok since on the next "fetch" it'll fetch updates, but if I call it again it seems to bring along the old stuff again. Idk.

What I've done is giving me a shell right after the freebsd-update, to debug.
And it seems the error only occurs with the
"freebsd-update fetch install" call poudriere uses, while a separate call of
"freebsd-update fetch"
"freebsd-update install" seems to be the crowbar that does the update.
(my /usr/bin/ftp testfile is now updated)

Thank you for the debug info, it would have been near to impossible without something to compare against.
The above bug report mentions the issue is apparently only on 9.x, which hints at different freebsd-update versions, but I'm out of my depth long ago.

Just a passerby...I have seen this thread on the security mailing list about updating jails:

fyi: freebsd-update extracts the version from /bin/sh
