Need to force sync(2) before umounting UFS1 filesystems?

Hi,
    I've been doing builds with FreeNAS recently on 9.x-BETA2 machines
recently and I've noticed that I need to add 2 'sync's prior to each
umount command in the nanobsd scripts when running repeated builds,
otherwise it fails with:

umount: unmount of /scratch/freenas/obj.amd64/_.mnt failed: Device busy

    Running fstat -f in the sh EXIT trap doesn't reveal anything helpful:

USER     CMD          PID   FD MOUNT      INUM MODE         SZ|DV R/W
root     fstat      79637   wd /scratch/freenas/obj.amd64/_.mnt      2
drwxr-xr-x     512  r

    Talking to Xin yesterday, he was convinced that this was a
filesystem//kern bug. Before I file a PR, I'm wondering if anyone else
has seen this issue..
Thanks!
