I have it reproduced in a vkernel on leaf.
Basically I made two img files, newfsed one as hammer, cpduped / onto
it and started the vkernel with that hammer fs as root.
Then I did volume-add to add the second img file.
On reboot there was the panic.
With volume-del I can get things back and do the test again.

Cheers,
Johannes

PS: Just an umount with a non-root hammer fs didn't trigger the panic.
