After a cursory look at the commit logs and looking at the stock .cshrc and .login, the only conclusion I can come to is that it must be somewhere in your dot files or in your login.conf. You may want to verify that you didn't corrupt your login.conf file during the upgrade. I'm currently building world as of May 17 @ 04:15 PDT (planned) on a chrooted filesystem (if I, buildworld, or installworld screws up I still have my original system). When it completes I'll boot it and see if I have the same problem.
