It was EBUSY. The first time I thought: sure, there's something open on
it... with 3 xterms open where I use zsh as the shell it was easy to
hunt for a program which I may have suspended, but I wasn't able to find
one. Even "umount -f" wasn't able to umount the slice. As the disk was
used to transport some data I wasn't able to look further into this.

Now with a new kernel (from May 30) and another data transport on a
harddisk I'm not able to reproduce the problem (a May 25 kernel failed
to umount the slice).

Bye,
Alexander.
