FWIW FS is part of kernel.  So technically you're running 9.0-RELEASE
UFS with 7.4-RELEASE userland.

My first step would be take out the journalling soft-updates to see if
things improves.  Could you test if this happens using brand new
9.0-RELEASE, but with journaled soft-updates disabled?

(Hint: tunefs -j disable /; tunefs -n enable /; reboot in single user
mode).

Note that since you say 7.4-RELEASE userland wouldn't have similar
issue, it might indicate a bug with the new journalled soft-updates's
fsck implementation.
