I have no idea. I just know that there are a good number of PR's
describing the problem (see kern/10828), and at least one of them
contains followup from bde, claiming that writes beyond the end of a
block device are known to cause problems. The claims are certainly
supported by the few tests I tried out on my machines here.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
