I see this too with a dumb test:

vlan5: flags=8003<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        ether 00:00:00:00:00:00
        inet6 fe80::21a:64ff:fe68:d005%vlan5 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0xa
        inet 192.168.13.13 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 192.168.13.13
        nd6 options=3<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV>
        vlan: 0 parent interface: <none>

On 8.1 ifconfig vlan5 up gives:
ifa_add_loopback_route: insertion failed

On head ifconfig vlan5 down gives:
interface address is missing from cache = 0  in delete
