Followup after rebooting:

It's still there.  I can fully reproduce it by booting with -v (so to
produce large probe output), and even without -v, it happens a few
bytes later.

I recompiled a kernel from scratch, with <sys/msgbuf.h> reverted to
the original version.  It's less obvious now, but every now and then,
i also get something like:

Device sd1a: name slot allocat%4O\^A%Dc\^A\^ETO\^A\^EdO\^A\^E\M^Ts\^A\^ED\M^W\^A\^ET{\^A\^EdO\^A\^EtK\^A\^E\^DO\^AG\M^T\^N\^A\^E\M^T_\^A\^Et+\^A\^E$\M^@\^A\^ED,\^A\^ET,\^A\^Ety\^A\^E\^DJ\^A\^E$B\^A\^Edf\^A\^Etn\^A\^Ed\M^B\^A\^Etr\^A\^E\^Ds\^A\^E\^TS\^A\^E4\M^_\^A\^E\M^Dk\^A\^E\M^Tk\^A\^E$\M^[\^A\^E4k\^A\^ED3\^A\^ET\M^_\^A\^Ed\^?\^A\^Et\^?\^A\^E\^D\M^@\^A\^E\^T8\^A\^E$D\^A\^E4D\^A\^Ed\M^H\^A\^Et\240\^A\^E\M^D\M^D\^A\^E\M^T\M^D\^A\^E$\M^D\^A\^E4\M^D\^A\^EDl\^A\^ETl\^A\^Edl\^A\^Etl\^A\^E\^Dm\^A\^E\^Ta\^A\^E$m\^A\^E4m\^A\^EDm\^AGT1Gt\M^]G4]GdqGtYG\M^DYG$-ion failed (E=17)
Device rsd1a: name slot allocation failed (E=17)

You notice that there's just junk inmidst a word, while the word
itself is intact.  The amount of junk varies between inocations of
`dmesg', sometimes everything looks ok.

I've also noticed that syslogd takes a huge amount of time to start
with allot of rattling on the disk after my upgrade to -current.

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