So in theory this is fixed, but I actually bumped into an unexpected EPERM again from a linux emulated program yesterday (acroread4) which popped up an error message about /dev/null. I haven't tried to reproduce as yet, since I'm currently rebuilding KDE; /dev/null works properly for me on the FreeBSD ABI again, so maybe it's just a bug in acroread4.
