pkgbase sometimes reported package vs. running kernel mismatches [ 1400505 vs. 1400501] (despite uname -KU producing 1400505 1400505)

I got some odd reports of the likes of:

Newer FreeBSD version for package FreeBSD-tcpd-lib32:
To ignore this error set IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes
- package: 1400505
- running kernel: 1400501
Ignore the mismatch and continue? [y/N]: 

It was in a context with:

But the pkg results were somewhat variable, despite that stable context.
I tried reboots multiple times and still got mixed results.

I do not known where the 1400501 in "running kernel: 1400501" came
from when it was reported.
