I have no trouble setting the sysctl here:

mybsd root  /usr/src/sbin/sysctl

                                                                 #
sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=17
kern.geom.debugflags: 0 -> 17


                                                                 mybsd
root  /usr/src/sbin/sysctl

                                                           # sysctl
kern.geom.debugflags=0
kern.geom.debugflags: 17 -> 0


                                                                 mybsd
root  /usr/src/sbin/sysctl

                                                           # kldstat

Please post:
- kldstat
- kldstat -v | grep g_part

If appropriate, kldload the geom_label module , just in case, although I
don't think this should be related.
