Of course... stupid me!   I used vnconfig to mount the image and then
unmounted it, but forgot to do a vnconfig -u...

Of course, it's a bit too late now - just got a kernel panic trying to do
so (not entirely unexpected - anyone want a core dump... :-)

vnconfig was a one-off thing and not a running process, therefore
difficult to detect.

Many thanks to everyone who responded, and I do apologise for wasting your
time.
