Cannot setup dumpdev on glabel disk

I am running 11-STABLE, and I am experiencing kernel panics when I am
destroying a VIMAGE-based jail. Naturally, I flipped to the chapter
about 'Kernel Debugging' to learn about 'Obtaining a Kernel Crash Dump'.
However, I am finding that my permanently glabel'ed disk partition
cannot be used as dumpdev. Is that true, and why not? I mean, swap can
use it just fine. I am unable to find this restriction in the documentation.
# grep swap /etc/fstab
/dev/label/boot01b none swap sw 0 0
# swapinfo

# glabel status | grep boot

dumpon: ioctl(DIOCSKERNELDUMP): Operation not supported by device
