I reported an identical set of symptoms over the weekend to Kirk and Jeff,
and a fix was committed as src/sys/kerne/vfs_bio.c:1.412.  A missing write
lock release in buffer cache locking work would leave the disk suspended
for writes, and the result is a file system deadlock just as you describe. 
Could you check and see which version of vfs_bio.c you're running with --
if it's the earlier version, try updating?  If it's the newer version,
please let me know.  Here's the commit message:
