His assertion was that in submitting this bug report I would incur a request to use a debugger myself, and this despite me being an end user reporting a problem on a production system in a remote location which other people depend on. While it would be an interesting and educational distraction to rebuild the kernel and deadlock a production system a few more times, I trust it's understood why that can't happen. As such, I thought it would be helpful to provide the above script so FreeBSD developers with more systems at their disposal might try to reproduce the problem. Any chance of that happening?
