Okay. Tried it some more today, and as I suspected it does follow a pattern.

My "easy" test, which others surely could do as well:
(on the VAX)

 > cd /sys/arch/vax/vax
 > rm pmap.c
 > cvs upd pmap.c

All on the vax, and the file system is nfs-mounted from another machine.
Looking at the resulting checked out file on the VAX, data at address 
0x1000-0x1fff, 0x3000-0x3fff, 0x5000-0x5fff, 0x7000-0x7fff and 
0x9000-0x9fff are just NULs. The other parts of the file is just fine. 
And the file really contains those NULs, as I can check the file on the 
machine that is exporting the file system as well.)

This is both annoying, weird, and rather problematic for me. Can anyone 
else try the same thing (exactly) as I have, to see if they can repeat it?
