no network between jails and host with VNET on same interface

Hello everyone!

I have a strange connectivity problem on jails with VNET networking.

I've deployed a jail system with VNET networking on a server with 
FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p10. Jails are working fine, can reach out outer 
network and each other, but there's no connectivity between host and jails.

Server is connected to switch trunk port by igb1 interface, which is 
bridged with epairXa interfaces in bridge0, while jails using epairXb 
interfaces (they are renamed to jail0 in each jail to simplify things).


=======  host =============================
     [igb1]-----------------------\
        |                     +---------+
  [vlan4 (10.1.1.247)]        |         |
                              | bridge0 |
  /--[epair1a]----------------|         |
/                            +---------+
| /-[epair0a]--------------------/
| |
=====  jail1_filter2 ======================
| \-[jail0(ex-epair0b)]
|     |
|     [vlan4 (10.1.1.26)]
=====  jail2_noc ==========================
\-[jail0(ex-epair1b)]
     |
     [vlan4 (10.1.1.201)]
===========================================


On the host and in every jail i have a vlan4 interface, and here's 
addresses for those vlan4 interfaces:

host at vlan4:          10.1.1.247
jail1_filter2 at vlan4: 10.1.1.26
jail2_noc at vlan4:     10.1.1.201

Host can't ping jails, but can ping outer world. Jails can ping each 
other and outer world, but not host - "ping: sendto: Host is down", 
there's no ARP entry for host' vlan4 address.

I've tried to add static arp entry for 10.1.1.247 in jails - with no 
success (arp is added, network still not working).

Host and both jails have firewall_type=OPEN configured.

What is wrong here?

Below are pings, ifconfig output for host and jails and jail.conf.
