There are a few overlapping issues with /etc/rc.conf.  There is indeed a
lens shipped with the FreeBSD port which you're seeing here.  In Augeas
0.8.1, rc.conf was added to the Shellvars lens shipped with Augeas
itself, but then in 0.10.0 it was accidentally removed from the list.
This has been fixed in git, but is unreleased.

I suspect on 0.7.1 you're using the FreeBSD lens.  On 0.10.0 you would
have to be using the FreeBSD lens, but it looks like this isn't being
picked up - so either the rcconf.aug lens is disabled somehow (or isn't
in the right search path) or it is failing to parse your rc.conf file.

Could you try running this in augtool to see if a lens is being used,
and if there are errors?

  print /augeas/files/etc/rc.conf/
