Mark, to me "vlruwk" looks like a limit on number of vnodes.  I was not 
deep in that area at least recently, so somebody with more experience 
there could try to diagnose it.  At very least it does not look related 
to the ZIL issue discussed in this thread, at least with the information 
provided, so I am not surprised that the mentioned patches do not affect it.
