To complete the analysis, I tried to upgrade a 9.99.36 system to
9.99.37 by booting off the ISO file I previously used for the clean
installation described above.

It failed in a similar was as with sysupgrade :

ls -l /sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin | egrep 'wheel[ \t]*0' | wc -l
      91
(the clean installation returns 0).

It gets less clear after this... But at the moment I can't see how to
upgrade to 9.99.37.
