Strange, I dont see that on RELENG_10

0{marble}# ifconfig em2 up
0{marble}# ifconfig em2.3 create 1.1.1.2/24
0{marble}# sysctl -a | grep forwarding
net.inet.ip.forwarding: 1
net.inet.ip.fastforwarding: 0
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding: 0
0{marble}# ifconfig vlan4 create 2.2.2.2 vlan 4 vlandev em2
0{marble}# sysctl -a | grep forwarding
net.inet.ip.forwarding: 1
net.inet.ip.fastforwarding: 0
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding: 0
0{marble}#

do you set forwarding via just /etc/sysctl.conf or in /etc/rc.conf via 
ipv6_gateway_enable and gateway_enable. I seem to recall some discussion 
about there being a difference.  Perhaps devd is calling something that 
then fiddles with the setting ignoring whats in sysctl.conf ?
