Looks like the underlying panic here has to do with UFS2 not properly handling EA operations on device nodes. I was sure that we fixed this at some point, so I'm busy trying to track it down in our local trees -- maybe we forgot to merge the fix. This probably wouldn't show up for most people using UFS2 EAs, since they're mostly using devfs now. The one edge case appears to be when the linux compat /dev/null contains device nodes, instead of symlinks to the real /dev.
