Is there a workaround for this? 


Since all of my filesystems on my 7.0 system are ZFS, I've been making a 
copy of freebsd-update with the chflag calls commented out.  Since ZFS 
doesn't support flags yet, this is harmless.


If any of your primary filesystems are not ZFS, this is not a good 
solution.


If you go this route, you'll have to watch for changes to freebsd-update 
and reapply them.


I expect that once ZFS is no longer considered experimental, 
freebsd-update will have a way to handle this.

Probably chflags failure should not be treated as a fatal error.  NFS / 
would have the same failure mode.
