You can set kern.geom.debugflags to 5 and see what's going on there.

Show me the source!:)

+> BTB - Is the geom(4) manpage finished in 5.3?

Nope, but for developing GEOM classes there are many useful (I hope) manual
pages:

	DECLARE_GEOM_CLASS(9)
	g_access(9)
	g_attach(9)
	g_bio(9)
	g_consumer(9)
	g_data(9)
	g_event(9)
	g_geom(9)
	g_provider(9)
	g_provider_by_name(9)
	g_wither_geom(9)
