According to the old st driver's quirk entries, this drive can only do QIC-120, QIC-150, and QIC-525. The CAM driver does not have this information on hand, and relies on the user to specify a proper density. Ken and I are looking at the best way to deal with these kinds of issues without bloating the driver too much. In the mean time, can you experiment with different densities (via mt) and see if this helps your situation?
Unless it also goes under a different name, mt doesn't know about QIC-525 (I freely admit that I'm not a SCSI expert). I tried -120 and -150, but it didn't do anything at all that I could see. Here's a short transcript.

Substituting QIC-120 for the -150 above didn't change anything.
