The the purpose of the mailing list archive in case somebody else stumbles
across it:

I finally realized what the problem was. It had nothing to do with
partitions with names g and above. The issue is that the information
that geom_label looks for when tasting a device is stored in the last
block (or close to it - at the end of the device, I don't remember).
My last partition ended at exactly the last block of the device. Presumably
/dev/ad1 is tasted by geom_label before /dev/ad1s1{g,h,whatever}, which
means that geom_label will find the label on /dev/ad1...
