I can't reproduce it on my end, unfortunately.  I downloaded the latest
FreeBSD-11.2-PRERELEASE-i386-20180420-r332802 snapshot, installed it to
a GPT partitioned disk, and it boots just fine.

This snapshot corresponds to r332802, which has clang 6.0.0, with the
EFLAGS change still reverted, so I assume its copy of gptboot is also
compiled with that.

Which exact revision of the base system were you using?
