Some experimentation produced the following results. I created an

3.2-STABLE, as of about 3 weeks ago.
====================================
truncate Panic (it was trying to dump a core for the process).
remove vm_pager error and sigfault.
catch sig + remove vm_pager error loop - may be killed by kill -9.
4.0-CURRENT, also about 3 weeks ago.
====================================
truncate process stuck in vompar while handling the pagefault.
remove vm_pager error and sigfault.
catch sig + remove vm_pager error loop - process can't be killed.
I tried quickly on a Redhat 6 box, catching the signal and changeing the
execuatble results in the process spinning and also being unkillable.
I still haven't managed to get init stuck in vmopar - it isn't entirely
clear to me why it would be interested in the processes text at all.
