It didn't, but upping to 1024m did the trick:

: thuvia# ;dmesg
[...]
umass1 at uhub3 port 3 configuration 1 interface 0
umass1: SMI Corporation (0x90c) USB DISK (0x1000), rev 2.00/11.00, addr 7

sd4: 3864 MB, 7872 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 7913472 sectors

However, I still can't mount the MS-DOS file system:

: thuvia# ;mount /dev/sd4e /m/stick
mount_msdos: /dev/sd4e on /m/stick: Invalid argument

This has always worked fine, and still did with 8.99.1.

: thuvia# ;disklabel sd4

Interestingly, if I attach an SD card reader, I can mount an MS-DOS file
system from that.  It shows up not as "USB DISK", but "Generic Mass
Storage Device":
