I reckon you are running FreeBSD 13-CURRENT (as I am)?
I actually had the same problem and noticed some error messages in
/var/log/messages.log.
Roy has provided a patch for the dhcpcd source in attachments, this fixed it
for me.
It has already been committed to master and should be fixed in the new
dhcpcd-9.1.1 release.
