Since all of my filesystems on my 7.0 system are ZFS, I've been making 
a copy of freebsd-update with the "chflag" calls commented out.  Since 
ZFS doesn't support flags yet, this is harmless.

If any of your primary filesystems are not ZFS, this is not a good 
solution.

If you go this route, you'll have to watch for changes to 
freebsd-update and reapply them.

I expect that once ZFS is no longer considered experimental, 
freebsd-update will have a way to handle this.
