There are few things you should do.

First,
w/r to you complaint about first-kill-then restart, this will do it for you
/etc/rc.d/dhclient lagg0 restart

second,
I remember you wrote that you have a trouble with disconnects even in
wireless-only setup (no failover setup). If so, you should run and debug
wireless only for the time being.
Note:
remember what wpa_supplicant does:
It handles passing the login and encryption credentials to the authentication
server.
It also handles roaming from one wireless access point to another, in order to
maintain connectivity.
Here are some hints on setup:

and
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=wpa_supplicant&sektion=8
and debugging:

third,
I would test with IPv6 disabled (entirely for the system), regardless of
connectivity type;
that also means to explicitly disable that failover setup line in your config
ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="**YES"
