the thing is, i dont see any "DIAGNOSTIC" conditional code in
ether_output().

One thing though, 2.2.8-RELEASE had somebugs in handling route
information for packets send through a pipe, you should update ip_fw.c
and ip_dummynet.c to the latest version (around Jan11).
These fixes could be related to the problem you are experiencing.
