Thanks Mark, you were exactly right (of course). Someone else pointed this out to me too, referencing this thread from last year: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=157823468902338&w=2 The reason why 6.7 worked is because I took a more careful approach when downgrading, nuking /usr/lib, thus removing quite a few years of old libraries that were accumulating dust and filling up my /usr After the downgrade, the upgrade to 6.7-current resulted in a working system again.
