After asking to set the root password, bsdinstall can now (like sysinstall) ask the user if they'd like to visit the configuration menu one last time to make any additional changes (and bsdconfig -- no arguments -- would provide that menu).

Did I? When one starts discussing 'Express Install', we're clearly in the realm of bsdinstall, not bsdconfig.

Like you stated, in that case bsdinstall would not use bsdconfig.
