 Definitely a bitfilp. See the line which starts 0000430c, there are
 4 bytes for the inode number, 2 bytes for the record length, 1 for
 the file type and 1 for the name length and then the name dirhash
 was looking for. We're almost certainly looking at a case of dirhash
 writing the correct offset in and then something corrupting it by
 flipping a bit.
 
 The other panic you reported is probably caused by the same sort
 of corruption.

 Is this new hardware, or was it successfully in use before you
 installed 4.5? If it was successfully in use before, then what
 version of FreeBSD were you using before?
