I think it's a real bug, and the test cases don't cover "extra" elements

I'm pretty sure that the fix is just to set rval on jumping to the
"extra" tag in vwalk() in src/usr.sbin/mtree/verify.c.
But my hot water heater just exploded, so I may not look at code for a
few more days.
Hello Lowell,
Thank you very much.
I was going crazy trying different combinations of options and script
logic. I want to thank you for taking my problem seriously and taking
the time to do your own test cases to verify my findings. Now that I
know it's a genuine bug in mtree, I can make my plans accordingly. Any
fix to the mtree utility will take some time to filter down to a regular
RELEASE. Maybe 9.2 or the big jump to 10.0 by the end of 2013. I will
leave it up to you the file a PR on this and follow through.
Thanks again, people like you are what makes this questions list so
valuable and FreeBSD such a great OS. You did outstanding work.
Joe
