I agree with that, but it is the case here?

Running with vnd backends on the root partition is not what I would call
a specific setup, and it is not obvious the change can do actual harm. 

I agree a EAGAIN on unmount(2) as shutdown time would be a problem, but
can it happen? /etc/rc.d/mountall calls umount -a after all processes
using the filesystem have exit. What process would call fstrans_start()
while umount tries to do a file suspension?
