I always use -iU too. I've lost motd, passwd, group and master.passwd During mergemaster -p I was asked to merge changes to some of these, and still they were replaced with the newer versions. I don't know what went wrong but have restored them from backup. (I always tar /etc before a source upgrade). Upgrading another system using freebsd-update did not cause any problem.
I have the same experience while I was upgrading a few machines upgrading from RELENG_7 to RELENG_7_2. I haven't experienced when upgrading from 7.1-R to 7.2-R.
Here auth.conf, csh.cshrc, hosts, crontab, syslogd.conf, passswd, master.passwd, group, sysctl.conf motd and maybe some more got overwritten :-( I had to restore from backups.
