I've seen it also, but in a VirtualBox amd64 vm which I more or less blamed VB for. But very alike your situation, stalls at base(58).tgz and restarts of the upgrade script allows it to run through. In my case, always got the sets from ftp.eu.openbsd.org.. -- May the most significant bit of your life be positive.
