 We've deprecated setting network_interfaces to anything other than
 AUTO in 7.0 and I'll probably MFC that documentation to RELENG_6
 after the 6.1 release.  Now that you can disable automatic, boot time
 configuration of individual interfaces with the NOAUTO keyword, setting
 network_interfaces is pretty pointless.  As such it seems unlikely we'll
 fix this bug.  In may ways, the real but is appending cloned_interfaces
 automagically.
