Hmm. Since crash dumps are written by a process that I do not
believe is vinum aware, I'd be willing to bet that they won't
properly be written. Even if that did work, I'm not sure where the
crash dump recovery process is fired up, but I'd be willing to guess
that it's before vinum gets started, so you'd have to also make some
modifications there.

Swap and dump is not something that I would tend to be inclined
to put on vinum. At least not until we can get to the point where we
can put all filesystems under vinum, including the root filesystem.
