Problem solved -- the solution was as suggested by Landry Breuil in <http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=133758725213147&w=1>: > Something fucks up your perms on WRKOBJDIR .. is there a "bkis" user ? I had (have) a user "bkis" with uid 0 but a different shell/path/homedir than root. I had mistakenly put bkis before root when vipw-ing the password file. The fix was to put bkis after root (and add a note to my personal-list-of-postinstall-OpenBSD-configs to remind me to always do this in the future).
