Old LOR between devfs & devfsmount resurfacing?

All,

I just ran into the following LOR after upgrading my PowerPC box:

lock order reversal:
  1st 0xdbee94 devfs (devfs) @ /nfs/freebsd/8.x/src/sys/kern/ 
vfs_subr.c:2061
  2nd 0xdfb014 devfsmount (devfsmount) @ /nfs/freebsd/8.x/src/sys/fs/ 
devfs/devfs_vnops.c:201
KDB: stack backtrace:
0xdc0febc8: at kdb_backtrace+0x4c
0xdc0febd8: at witness_checkorder+0x704
0xdc0fec28: at _sx_xlock+0x8c

0xdc0fed48: at start_init+0x88
0xdc0feda8: at fork_exit+0xb4
0xdc0fedc8: at fork_trampoline+0xc
KDB: enter: witness_checkorder
[thread pid 1 tid 100001 ]
Stopped at      0x28ee68:       addi    r0, r0, 0x0

It seems that this is a LOR reported in 2006 and fixed
in 2006 as well. Do other people see this too, or should
I suspect my sources?
