I can reproduce this bug under NetBSD-AFS 1.21 and 1.25 (the latter of
which isn't released). There is a similar problem (which we've fixed
between 1.21 and 1.25) with releasing files to read-only volumes, but
we don't seem to have fixed your bug.
Since John Kohl has been busy lately, I'm sure he'd appreciate it if
you could find a patch to fix the problem (i.e. the right place to
call vnode_pager_uncache, which took a little trial and error when we
went through this for the release problem). Otherwise, either he or I
will get to it sometime.
Thanks for the bug report.
