freebsd stable - Apr 2012 - GEOM_PART: integrity check failed (mirror/gm0, MBR) on FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE

I just did a source upgrade from 8.2 to 8.3.  System boots but has this 
warning:

	GEOM_PART: integrity check failed (mirror/gm0, MBR)

Google points to issues with FreeBSD 9 and the need to migrate to GPT 
but I wasn't expecting this with 8.3!

Are there any quick fixes to eliminate this warning or is it safe to 
ignore please?

It is not necessary to migrate to GPT. You should understand why it is happens.
You can enable verbose boot mode and you will see why it complains.

The problem is that mirror/gm0 provides only 500107861504 bytes, but the MBR
expects
500107829760 + 32256 bytes.
