Well, it wasnt just explicitely pointed out as with the fsck re-write now,
however
fsck_ufs(1M) warns you since ages:
<snip>
WARNINGS
The operating system buffers file system data. Running fsck
on a mounted file system can cause the operating system's
buffers to become out of date with respect to the disk. For
this reason, the file system should be unmounted when fsck
is used. If this is not possible, care should be taken that
the system is quiescent and that it is rebooted immediately
after fsck is run. Quite often, however, this will not be
sufficient. A panic will probably occur if running fsck on
a file system modifies the file system.
