I've since solved this problem with some help, but I'm hoping this will
get up on Google if someone finds my original message.

The fix is in a kernel patch at
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2007-December/027280.html
- The problem has not been fixed in the -STABLE/-CURRENT sources as of
today. Since the misbehaving file has not been changed in any of them
the patch still works.
