As a work-around, em(4) driver supports turning off VLAN tagging
in hardware, so you can switch it off without code modifications
and expect with a reasonable chance of success it will now work.
For example,

ifconfig em0 -vlanhwtag

Then try bridging on VLAN interfaces again.  If it works now,
then merging my patch to RELENG_5 will definitely help you.
Unfortunately, I'm not in a mood (nor I think re@ would) to
merge (commit) this change now, so close to a release.


Cheers,
