I am at a total loss here. Is it re-using the first snapshot I ever

Sure the old md isn't hanging around by mistake or some such?
Yes, I am absolutely sure of this.
I considered using the snapshot tool, however I need to reduce
dependencies to an absolute minimum (as one target environment is very
strict on allowing additional software installs)..
I use the snapshots to get a consistent file-backup with history. This
one puzzles me to no end.

I have had people recover many files using the snapshot tool in ports
(plus a small symlink maker for samba access) and haven't noticed
issues like this.
On the otherhand I find it can take a long time to make a snapshot
(during which time no FS access is allowed).
