This is good information, so sorry if I'm being dense: does this mean
that it should have worked by applying the changes via
/etc/sysctl.conf?

No worries though, I've set it in /boot/loader.conf to avoid any
possible ambiguity or anomalous behavior, and it's working very well!

Alexander, if I haven't said it enough already, thanks! I see that you
committed this work, looking forward to wider-spread testing now...
