Same here, same setup. ZFS, GELI, USB.
Occasionally this happens, haven't found a way to reliably trigger it yet.

However, what seems to (more or less) reliably work is to trigger a
failed crypto READ request when copying files from a ZFS-GELI-USB pool
to a FAT formatted USB stick. If that happens, I have to reboot as the
ZFS-GELI-USB pool is no longer functioning properly.
This is on a recent 8-STABLE amd64 box, but it has always been that
way since I am using zpools on USB disks on FreeBSD.
