 I can confirm this worked in 6.0-R and is broken in 6.1-R, and I can 
 confirm it was the commit by ume at freebsd.org mentioned in the past log
 entries of this PR that broke it:

 In my case, I don't see the backup constantly switching, instead I see 
 both the master and backup constantly acting as master, but only on the 
 IPv6 interface - the IPv4 interface works as expected.  This difference 
 could be due to te fact that I have the IPv4 interface on this machine 
 also under carp's control, although I do have sysctl 
 net.inet.carp.preempt=1, which in theory should mean that all interfaces 
 track each other's state.
