A datapoint:

Due to a stupid mistake on my part (leftover old crud in mk.conf) I've
been running a lot of build.sh's over and over again, both last
weekend and this, on a -current mp kernel built at the start of the
respective weekend.

Although I wasn't building a full release (ie, sets), just a
distribution tree, I never once saw a problem like this, and I have
softdeps enabled.

So, perhaps the problem is in the part I wasn't doing (vnd for floppy
images?) or something more specific to your setup?
