I am not sure about gjournal internals but what if a system crash occurs
in the middle of a transaction and the fs gets corrupted and the data,
necessary to fix it is in the journal, but you cannot access the journal
because the file, which contains the journal, is on a corrupted fs?

You should better ask at the geom mailing list.
