Doesn't seem to have any effect.  Please see
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2010-March/024728.html
on how to reproduce.

If you change the ifconfig command shown there so that the local end
of a P2P interface is assigned the same IP address 10.25.1.244 as of
vlan408, it will work as expected.
