i got the impression that sources were in some inconsistent state.

if the only change is the new system call, isn't it sufficient to:

* pull only /sys/src/9

* build the kernels you need and install on boot medium

* reboot

* pull again and rebuild all the binaries

since existing binaries would work on the new kernel?

The safe way to upgrade your file server is simply to update the kernel binaries (for example, with the ones I'm providing) on your 9fat and reboot.

Then, you can pull the updated program binaries from /n/sources.

There is no need to wait, because you have to be running the new kernel before pulling the new binaires anyway.

In the case you need a custom kernel to boot your file server, you will have to grab the changes manually (like http://9fans.eu/pegasus/sources/plan9/plan9-2014-05-15.diff), and recompile/reinstall/reboot your kernel.
