Appendix:
I tried with BusLogic Parallel (FreeBSD-32bit), LSI Logic Parallel and LSI
Logic SAS (both FreeBSD-64bit). The problem remains (I hope that was what
you ment with "try using a different storage controller").
But what is interesting (and makes me think that the controller is not to
blame):
I re-partition the disk using gpart:
mfsbsd# gpart show da1
=> 34 156301421 da1 GPT (75G)
34 128 1 freebsd-boot (64K)
162 4194304 2 freebsd-ufs (2.0G)

I now copy ~30GB of data (actually a clone of a running system using vdisks)
to those partitons except for the designated / partition (da1p2). The system
does *not* panic. (I used rsync to push the data from the live system if it
is worth to mention it)
mfsbsd# df -h | grep da1
/dev/da1p2 1.9G 12K 1.8G 0% /mnt/da1
/dev/da1p4 9.7G 5.5G 3.4G 62% /mnt/da1/usr

But as soon as I rsync/dump/cp the / partition the panic occurs. Reliable.
