No, it doesn't.
I originally noticed the problem when my backup script, which runs
dump 0af /holding/disk $filesystem
failed. And this problem still persists.
(/holding/disk is just a normal file on an FFS. Different disk,
same SCSI adapter.)
Dumping to /dev/null is merely another convenient way to reproduce
this.

Fails as well.
