YES YES YES

This is happening right now on my little Atom based ZFS NAS and it's  
driving me insane. 9.0-PRERELEASE compiled with Clang (don't think that  
matters though). However, mine doesn't fully panic and recovers. It justs  
completely freezes for like 5-10 seconds. Won't take any keyboard input,  
doesn't show anything on console/SSH, but is still pingable. Crazy!
