Yeah, I figured this out from the backtrace.

The panic in kostik563 is related and directly caused by the patch,
since patch erronously performs vgone() on the active (removed) vnode.
As result, a spurious VOP_CLOSE() call is performed on the vnode,
which is more or less innocent for regular files, but fatal for fifos
and probably nfsv4 as well.

Updated patch is below.

Yes, new nullfs is only in HEAD and stable/9.
