True.
But on systems that host e.g. mailservers or webservers its unacceptable
to disrupt services tp umount and backup the system :/
$ uname -a
FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE
$ more /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/README.snapshot
/usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/README.snapshot: No such file or directory

Located it in stable, but the READNE says:
2) Run dump on the snapshot. You will get a dump that is
consistent with the filesystem as of the timestamp of the
snapshot. Note that I have not yet changed dump to set the
dumpdates file correctly, so do not use this feature in
production until that fix is made.
:-((
Anyway, I have no problem with the errors per se, just wanted
to know if they could result from the race conditions or if I have
to better change the disks.
