When I reverted to -stable, I had fsck come up with a long list of complaints about snapshot files which should have been deleted long ago. Probably they were caused by a failed background fsck under -current (I had an unexpected softupdates inconsistency on the partition due to a kernel panic, and background fsck would just wedge the entire machine when trying to deal with it). However, I don't know why they weren't dealt with by fsck under -current.
