While installing FreeBSD 13.1 (FreeBSD-13.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img) using a USB HDD, encountered the following error after selecting the mirror to download packages:
“Error while fetching file:///mnt/usr/freebsd-dist/base.txz : no such file or directory.”

This happens only when base-dbg and/or lib32-dbg components are enabled during install. If not selected, installation is successful.

The USB HDD was prepared on openSUSE Tumbleweed using the following command:
sudo dd if=FreeBSD-13.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=/dev/sdd bs=1M conv=sync status=progress

Was to report this but you are confirming.

Error while fetching file:///mnt/usr/freebsd-dist/base.txz: No such file or dir
/mnt/usr/freebsd-dist directory have only the MANIFEST file that show that have
inside it mandatory on base.txz mentioned, but the file itself not in the dir.

was using:
https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/ISO-IMAGES/13.1/FreeBSD-13.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso

I believe I have seen the same with 13.2 BETA3 this morning.

No, 13.2BETA3 not affected by this bug.
Just tested, and was not able to reproduce.
