Yes I can confirm that - after some time(a day) a moderately loaded 
iface with about 7kpps gives the same
error on send(No buffer space available).
This is with -BETA2 hardware is :

em0 at pci2:1:0:   class=0x020000 card=0x10018086 chip=0x10268086 rev=0x04 
hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Intel Corporation'
    device   = '82545GM Gigabit Ethernet Controller'
    class    = network
    subclass = ethernet
