Do you have softdep enabled? There's apparently a bug somewhere in the
softdep code that leaves unlinked inodes in a limbo state such that they
get reconnected at fsck time and the file system does not get marked as
clean at shutdown.
Just don't mount the filesystem with softdep endabled. At least not until
this bug gets fixed.
