This is correctly diagnosed, ref. the comments I posted to
source-changes earlier today.

I committed a fix for this problem, to use it:

Update share/mk/bsd.kmodule.mk to revision 1.9 or higher.
After that, as per the entry I added to UPDATING, remove the
${DESTDIR}/${MACHINE} directory tree, and re-install in
sys/modules, and the METALOG file will be fixed.

I also submitted a PR (misc/38724), claiming that /stand/ is the
wrong directory tree to use for these files (kernel modules),
since these are not stand-alone binaries, since they depend on
the kernel.  The PR has a few suggestions for alternatives with
comments why one would not want either of them.  Other
suggestions are welcome.
