Via etcupdate after installworld. In the event the system
requests manual intervention I accept "theirs all". It seems
odd if that can null a root password.

Still, it does seem an outside possibility. I could see it adding
system users, but messing with root's existing password seems a
bit unexpected.  

Thanks very much for raising the point!
