If you have a custom kernel, you should update your local sources and
rebuild world and the kernel. You should not use freebsd-update which is
not the right tool for customized kernels and environments (because you
deviate from the standard, which you likely have a good reason for).

So, option 2) should apply to you after updating your local checked out
sources..

Please let me know if I can be of more help wrt. this issue (no need to
send this to the entire list :))
