Image for RockPro64 for FreeBSD 14.4-RELEASE Question

It looks to me like the official FreeBSD 14.4-RELEASE image for ROCKPRO64 has built wrong.

When I look at disk structure the first 16M should be <--free--> but now I have a partition there:
FreeBSD-14.4-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-ROCKPRO64.img

Code:
=>      40  10485680  md0  GPT  (5.0G)
        40     32728    3  freebsd-ufs  (16M)
     32768    102400    1  efi  (50M)
    135168  10350464    2  freebsd-ufs  (4.9G)
  10485632        88       - free -  (44K)

When viewing the ROCK64 image for 14.4-RELEASE it looks normal as ever:
FreeBSD-14.4-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-ROCK64.img
Code:
=>      40  10485680  md0  GPT  (5.0G)
        40     32728       - free -  (16M)
     32768    102400    1  efi  (50M)
    135168  10350464    2  freebsd-ufs  (4.9G)
  10485632        88       - free -  (44K)

Is this a reported BUG ? Not a bug? New feature? Works as expected? Won't fix?
This is where u-boot resides so something went wrong I believe.
When looking at the bits on the medium U-Boot is infact at the correct location. Its just an errant partition 3 present.

It appears unformatted:
file -s /dev/md0p3
/dev/md0p3: data

mount /dev/md0p3 /mnt
mount: /dev/md0p3: No such file or directory

If I delete the errant partition everything looks normal.
gpart delete -i3 md0
gpart show md0
Code:
=>      40  10485680  md0  GPT  (5.0G)
        40     32728       - free -  (16M)
     32768    102400    1  efi  (50M)
    135168  10350464    2  freebsd-ufs  (4.9G)
  10485632        88       - free -  (44K)
