Why does an extra quotaon crash my 11/780?

I finished setting up quotas on an 11/780 running 4.3, and typed
"/etc/quotaon -v -a".
Instantly the console proclaimed: "panic: closedq: stray dquot" and the
VAX rebooted. Turns out that quotas were already enabled, but neither
quotaon(8), setquota(2), nor the kernel's quota system seem to check or
care.
I examined the code for quotaon, setquota, and the kernel code for some
time, and there is no hint of a check.
Did I miss something? Is this a known "gotcha"?
Curious at best.
