I think this all due to the change in sys/netinet/in.c.  Try to use
version 1.44.2.7 and see if it fixes this.  This commit also broke
kernel BOOTP/DHCP configuration.  Maybe this need code needs to
verify that the duplicate 0.0.0.0 addresses are okay and not report
an error.  If it does you might want to ping the authors of the commit.
