Sector size seems to be not the reason (at least with gnop and dd on R6.1):

neo# gnop create -S 16384 md0
neo# dd if=/dev/md0.nop of=/dev/null 
dd: /dev/md0.nop: Invalid argument
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes transferred in 0.000155 secs (0 bytes/sec)
neo# dd if=/dev/md0.nop of=/dev/null bs=16k
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
16777216 bytes transferred in 0.398660 secs (42084027 bytes/sec)

Just UFS seems to have a problem:

neo# newfs /dev/md0.nop
/dev/md0.nop: 16.0MB (32768 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 16384
        using 4 cylinder groups of 4.02MB, 257 blks, 128 inodes.
newfs: can't read old UFS1 superblock: read error from block device: Invalid
argument
