I doubt that it is widely known, but I've seen these 2-3 times before
when fussing around with USB media and/or md(4) devices with gmirror on
top. Basically, if you get really creative with the geom layering, this
is likely to happen.

It sure is a bug, but without a good way to reproduce, noone's gonna fix
it.
