The problem was that at one point newfs wanted a volume label and wouldn't work unless it got one. So I gave it one and didn't notice that it only worked as long as the last character of the volume name is a valid partition identified (a-h or 0-7). newfs is now fixed, so I backed out the change, but I forgot about it on the RELENG_5_0 branch until Jörg Wunsch reminded me yesterday.
