These backtraces are generated by this code in getdirtybuf():
5847                 if (bp->b_vp == NULL)
5848                         kdb_backtrace();

Somehow there's a buf floating around without a vnode attached. I'd
suggest booting single user and fsck -y'ing all your filesystems to verify
there is no residual damage, and remove any snapshots from your ufs2
filesystems.

This isn't the first time I've seen this, so I'd check the archive too.
