It appears that MA38 has been extended from MA28 to MA99.

Interesting. There's some signage southbound from MA28, though it disappears at the I-93 ramps. I found nothing northbound, including at the Sullivan Square interchange, which is poorly signed; nothing for MA99 either.
Perhaps most telling is, despite the continuing southbound signage, milepost 0.0.

This reminds me of the semi-recent AARoads discussion, Extension of MA 2A?
As Jim noted in that thread,

I looked into this a bit more for CHM purposes.  The 2012 MassDOT Road Inventory shapefiles still show 2A ending at Commonwealth.
Similarly, 2012 MassDOT Road Inventory shapefiles still show 38 ending at 28.
I may try to download newer shapefiles and see if anything's changed, but it's low priority.

New shapefiles dated 2017-07-11, and MassDOT's Road Inventory page agree with a terminus at MA28.
I'm going to accept the consensus from AARoads, that of an unknown local agency going rogue and playing fast & loose with signage.
Marking this topic as solved, no changes made.
