Does this only happen for 3.0-current, or also for 2.2-stable?

The latter would be more alarming (right before 2.2.5), but my test
machine with the wt drives is currently running 2.2.<almost 5>, so i
could investigate it there.  Investigating on 3.0-current is a little
harder right now.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
