I didn't have much time for testing, but backing out this change fixes the problem tail. For some reason, the signal never gets delivered to the process. The manual page states that the kevent processing is lower priority than signal handling and that the signal will get processed as normal befor

I did a little more testing of this problem just now. A SIGKILL does not kill the process but will lock up the machine. Truss reports the SIGKILL being continuously sent to the process. If I break into DDB, and then panic, I get a panic "lockmgr: pid XXX, not exclusive lock holder 0 unlocking".
