I've encountered exactly the same problem today.

I have a machine with public addresses, and also a interface for out of =
band management with private address, and I wanted to use
a separate FIB for the private interface and it's routes.

When I've deleted the routes for the private interface form the main =
FIB, arpresolve stopped working.

The I've patched sys/netinet/in.c with the following patch :

--- sys/netinet/in.c.orig	2012-05-12 08:57:17.000000000 +0200
+++ sys/netinet/in.c	2012-05-12 08:56:43.000000000 +0200

 	 */


And this seems to fix the issue.

Now that the multi FIB code is in GENERIC probably this (or similar fix) =
should be comitted.

P.S.: I also wonder why the loopback route for an interface address is =
also installed explicitly in the default FIB?
