manpage says for -j:
>     -j jail        Operate on the given jail specified by jid or name.  (The
>                    version of the installed userland is detected and the
>                    --currently-running option is no more required.)

So I would assume that all file/dir related operations: -b, -d, -f, -k are rebased on top of the basedir of the jail, but this does not happen. Only -b is set.
Issues:
* Bug 235318, Bug 253989: host's workdir is shredded
* -f  is used from the host, resulting in different conf applied, all paths from that conffile need to be rebase on top of basedir
* -k since -f is not rebased the wrong key might be used.

Expectatation is that all operations runs fully isolated from the host, namely jailed. Even if a jail isn't used -b should describe where and how it is applied...

This issue is visibible when using Bastille-managed jails:
* https://github.com/BastilleBSD/bastille/blob/master/usr/local/share/bastille/upgrade.sh
* https://github.com/BastilleBSD/bastille/blob/master/usr/local/share/bastille/update.sh

I will create an issue there...for the time being.
