carp on stable/9: is there a way to keep jumbo?

Dear collesagues,

yes, I know glebius@ overhauled carp in -current, but I'm a bit nervous to 
deploy bleeding edge system on a NAS/SAN ;)

So, my question is about current state of carp in stable/9: building HA pair I 
found that carp interfaces lose jumbo capabilities:

root at cthulhu4:~# ifconfig | grep mtu
em0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 9000
em1: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 9000
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384
lagg0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 9000
carp0: flags=49<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> metric 0 mtu 1500
carp1: flags=49<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> metric 0 mtu 1500
root at cthulhu4:~# ifconfig carp1 mtu 9000
ifconfig: ioctl (set mtu): Invalid argument

Is it unavoidable at the moment, or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks!
