I get the "create: bad value" messages as well. What's more, if I 
change rc.conf to assign variables of the form ifconfig_*, such as

ifconfig_re0_1="inet 192.168.0.1"
ifconfig_re0_1_alias0="inet 192.168.0.2"
...

instead of using an ip_addrs_* variable, I still get those messages.

I have confirmed that if I run /etc/netstart after booting, I lose 
connectivity just as you do.

I recognize the challenge of specifying the network configuration 
in a declaratory rather than a procedural environment, because 
there are so many contingencies and possible combinations of 
parameters. But there doesn't seem to be any combination of 
variables I can assign in rc.conf that doesn't cause errors when I 
try to create VLANs.
