In my experience, without kern.geom.debugflags=16, the MBR will not be written to the memstick, leaving you with what would effectively be a coaster in the not-so-distant past.
The problem is that this bad suggestion is everywhere in the Internet. And users use it always even when it not needed. I think it is bad idea add it in the our official documentation. When you doing all in the right way using debugflags=16 is not needed. And it is really dangerous when you doing something what you do not know exactly.
Since we're talking about this, could you review the usage in the gmirror section of the Handbook GEOM chapter: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/geom-mirror.html
Seems like that is a valid non-debugging use, to allow the last block to be written.
