That has not been my experience; I have built snapshots (recently) of:

FreeBSD 10.1-PRERELEASE #1320  r270789M/270801:1000714: Fri Aug 29 05:33:57 PDT 2014     root at g1-235.catwhisker.org:/common/S3/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY  i386
FreeBSD 10.1-PRERELEASE #1321  r270840M/270840:1000714: Sat Aug 30 05:33:54 PDT 2014     root at g1-235.catwhisker.org:/common/S3/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY  i386
FreeBSD 10.1-PRERELEASE #1322  r270843M/270872:1000714: Sun Aug 31 05:51:17 PDT 2014     root at g1-235.catwhisker.org:/common/S3/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY  i386
FreeBSD 10.1-PRERELEASE #1323  r270925M/270927:1000714: Mon Sep  1 06:10:23 PDT 2014     root at g1-235.catwhisker.org:/common/S3/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY  i386
FreeBSD 10.1-PRERELEASE #1324  r271011M/271013:1000714: Wed Sep  3 05:10:23 PDT 2014     root at g1-235.catwhisker.org:/common/S3/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY  i386
FreeBSD 10.1-PRERELEASE #1325  r271090M/271091:1000714: Thu Sep  4 05:31:47 PDT 2014     root at g1-235.catwhisker.org:/common/S3/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY  i386

and used copy/paste routinely.

X.org stuff I have installed:
d146(9.3-S)[3] pkg info xorg\*
xorg-7.7
xorg-apps-7.7
xorg-cf-files-1.0.5_1
xorg-docs-1.7,1
xorg-drivers-7.7_1
xorg-fonts-7.7
xorg-fonts-100dpi-7.7
xorg-fonts-75dpi-7.7
xorg-fonts-cyrillic-7.7
xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps-7.7
xorg-fonts-truetype-7.7_1
xorg-fonts-type1-7.7
xorg-libraries-7.7_1
xorg-macros-1.19.0
xorg-nestserver-1.12.4_8,1
xorg-server-1.12.4_8,1
d146(9.3-S)[4] 

I'm not at all convinced that this is a "-stable" issue (given that
X isn't part of base FreeBSD).

Do you notice different behavior in a vty?

Peace,
david
