Unfortunately, I don't have KTRACE compiled in on this machine. However, I found that fsck would work when I commented the attempt at mounting & rebooted.

I investigated and I found that when I only run "geli attach" I can run fsck, but when I attach and then try to mount (which fails due to dirty fs) then fsck thinks the fs is read-only. Whether I then detach and attach again doesn't matter, fsck will think /dev/vtbd1.eli is read-only until reboot.
