I have similar symptoms, on a Dual AMD64, 4x SATA GELI + RAIDZ.

Mainly after I turned off one drive out of 4 in a RAIDZ pool (one of the 
two SATA channel on the motherboard is flaky, I'm waiting for a new PCI 
controller) and I can consistently reproduce it mdconfig-uring a 120GB 
image of a ddrescue-d HDD and then mounting an UFS2 partition on it and 
moving massive amounts of data in that hangs within few minutes, but it 
will lock after a few hours anyways even not touching that huge file.

I'll try to produce some debugging myself ASAP...
