I believe you don't have the proper STABLE version. I'm setting up a new
system and after encountering the same problem I can currently reboot
successfully and even mount / from vinum:

gromit# dmesg |grep 'mount root'
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/gvinum/std-root

I'm using (long lines):

gromit# ident /mnt/src/sys/geom/vinum/* | grep FreeBSD
ident warning: no id keywords in /mnt/src/sys/geom/vinum/CVS
