It looks like a similar type of error as people commonly see with
gmirror - a race with glabel. If you don't use glabel, the easyest way
would be to disable some of kern.geom.label.*.

I think one way to solve it would be for glabel export an attribute for
devices (providers) on which this is possible (i.e. those whose size
doesn't change from the underlying devices) which could be checked by
such GEOM classes.
