I found by removing PREEMPTION from the kernel it would stop the panic. 
I would get http://sources.zabbadoz.net/freebsd/lor.html#007 instead but 
this is harmless.

I never had this problem on real hardware so made a second NOPREEMPTION 
kernel 
(http://perforce.freebsd.org/fileViewer.cgi?FSPC=//depot/projects/soc2005/bsdinstaller/src/sys/i386/conf/NOPREEMPTION&REV=1) 
and added "KERNELS=NOPREEMPTION" to the make release command line.
