It might be. The MFS appears to be the culprit, courtesy of this in
mfs_vfsops.c/mfs_mount() :
err = getnewvnode(VT_MFS, (struct mount *)0, mfs_vnodeop_p, &devvp);
Every other filesystem mount routine passes it's (mp) arg here,
but this sucker passes 0.
Filesystem people, Is This a Bug? (I can't do the raspy voice while
typing 8)
