A 4k-sector NTFS filesystem can't be mounted as of 5.3/i386.At least one person is using a 4K-sector disk with NTFS partition(s) without problems. So I suspect something local to your setup is causing the problem by traversing new and exciting code paths.
The filesystem was on external USB hard drive, as it came from the manufacturer, which is HGST, formerly Hitachi GST, now part of WD. The filesystem didn't work with OpenBSD 5.3/i386, but Windows XP seemed happy with it. The filesystem was empty and from original 4 TB it could be compressed with bzip2 to under 3 MB. I can send the compressed image to you if you want to play with it and have extra disk space.
