8.2-PRERELESE ifconfig_bridge has no members unless run from rc.local

Had been running a wireless bridge for some months in rc.conf:

ifconfig_bridge0="addm wlan0 addm re1 up"

Updated to 8.2-PRERELEASE 2 days ago and when the machine boots
the bridge has no members.

Reversing the order of the members results in the bridge having just
the re1 member.

Running the above command from a shell works and running from
an rc.local file also works.

FWIW, running from a shell there is about a 3 second delay after hit enter
before it returns the shell prompt, members are then present.

The lines in rc.conf:

cloned_interfaces="bridge0"
ifconfig_wlan0="inet 192.168.1.50/24 channel 11"
wlans_rum0="wlan0"
create_args_wlan0="wlanmode hostap mode 11g"
ifconfig_bridge0="addm wlan0 addm re1 up"

Tried replacing the re device with em, no change.

Any help is very greatly appreciated.
