I always use -iU too.
I've lost motd, passwd, group and master.passwd
During mergemaster -p I was asked to merge changes to some of these, and
still they were replaced with the newer versions. I don't know what went
wrong but have restored them from backup. (I always tar /etc before a
source upgrade). Upgrading another system using freebsd-update did not
cause any problem.
I have the same experience while I was upgrading a few machines 
upgrading from RELENG_7 to RELENG_7_2. I haven't experienced when 
upgrading from 7.1-R to 7.2-R.
Here auth.conf, csh.cshrc, hosts, crontab, syslogd.conf, passswd, 
master.passwd, group, sysctl.conf motd and maybe some more got 
overwritten :-( I had to restore from backups.
