What specifically is wrong with this?

Unless possibly a "ls -i" reveals that they're using different inodes, that
looks about right, except maybe the size is a slight bit big, but I can only
compare with a 2.2.6 and an old 3.0 (since I haven't updated /stand on either
for ages, if ever), and it's only 200k more, which isn't that unthinkable
considering the additions since then.

Did you even upgrade /stand?  Chances are you missed it, since it requires a
make install in /usr/src/release/sysinstall (I know I almost never do it).
