For similar occasions I wrote a ggatel patch as a workaround:

Later on I stumbled over gmountver which you may want to try
first. At least on my system it doesn't work unless I disable
kern.geom.mountver.check_ident (which obviously is dangerous),
but I didn't have time to investigate this yet.

Scrubbing the pool with one of the workarounds mentioned above might
be a good start.
