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.
Apparently the previous message was not delivered everywhere.
