Further datapoint.  The system used to run with untuned loader.conf, and
my colleague just reported that with the following loader.conf, the
problem can be triggered sooner:

vm.kmem_size_max=838860800
vm.kmem_size_scale="2"

The system is running FreeBSD/amd64 7.1-PRERELEASE equipped with 8GB of
RAM with GENERIC kernel.
