There were multiple threads in -current (and not only) about this issue.
Myself, I have been unable to produce a valid crash dump with dumpdev on 
a GEOM_MIRROR device (even with "prefer" set for the first component; 
then again if the order in which the consumers are detected changes 
during boot accidentally, prefer won't work as well).
