Repeating the entire process:
I created a 13.2 vm with 6 cores and 8GB of ram.
Ran freebsd-update fetch and install.
Ran pkg install git bash ccache open-vm-tools-nox11
Used git clone to get current and ports source files.
Edited /etc/make.conf to use ccache
Ran make -j6 buildworld && make -j6 kernel
I then rebooted in single user mode and did the next steps saving output
to a file with > filename.
etcupdate -p was pretty uneventful. It did show the below and did not
prompt to edit.
root@f15:~ # less etcupdatep
C /etc/group
C /etc/master.passwd
make installworld seemed mostly error free though I did see a nonzero
status for a man page failed inn the man4 directory.
etcupdate -B only showed the below. This was my first build after install.
root@f15:~ # less etcupdateB
Conflicts remain from previous update, aborting.
If I type exit in single user mode to go multi user mode, the local user
still works. After a reboot the local user still works. This local user
can also sudo as expected. This wasn't the case for the previous build
when I first reported this. However, if I run etcupdate resolve it is
still presenting /etc/group and /etc/master/passwd as problems.
If this is is expected behavior for current then no big deal. I just
wasn't sure.

Understood. I guess I was expecting the update process of etcupdate
-p && make installworld && etcupdate -B to not whack existing users
or delete an existing root user's password. I accepted the remote and
then recreated users and reset passwords and am retrying this.

Thanks.
For clarity: did the routine /not/ prompt you to edit the file (in
which, you would have seen conflict markers etc.)?

The root user's password was deleted.
The non root user no longer existed.
Logically, remote does not include things such as your root user's
password.
