I bisected the issue. It is introduced by
https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=4deb9760a9d84d5861ee45162ffebe83f13503b8 <https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=4deb9760a9d84d5861ee45162ffebe83f13503b8>

Gleb: What entry in /etc/devfs.conf do you have? I have

own	bpf*	root:network
perm	bpf*	0660

and the problem goes away if I remove the trailing *.

So I guess you have

own	bpf	root:network
perm	bpf	0660

Is that guess correct? But I think using * is OK, it is even
suggested in
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/net/wireshark/pkg-message

Therefore I have created
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D51043
which fixes the issue.

Best regards
