If you’re using -head, it’s a bit more complicated. ifconfig(8) uses rtnetlink(4) interfaces to communicate with the kernel. Privilege check is done in Netlink:  https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/764464af49688e74fd6d803df0404ca4726dd460/sys/netlink/route/iface.c#L1472 . After that, (as of now) netlink calls ioctl code from its own kernel thread, which may be the reason of the behavior you’re observing.
