Yes it's UFS2, and yes it's greater than 1.39.2.3:

$FreeBSD: src/sys/kern/subr_sleepqueue.c,v 1.39.2.5 2008/09/16 20:01:57 jhb Exp $

Are you sure the problem referenced on that page is the same? It talks
about "dog slow" snapshotting, which I see on other filesystems and
machines. But in this particular case the system is dead, and does not
recover.
