Just to confirm, since I didn't really read the beginning of this 
thread, when you reboot your machine, the setting for lo0 is already 
wrong, yes?

Since we now know that the rc settings look ok, maybe some script is 
doing the dirty, so what does


egrep 'lo0|ifconfig' /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*

show?  I do have numerous hits in /etc/rc.d, none of which look like 
they would affect lo0 unless you specified lo0 in /etc/rc.conf.  I have 
no hits in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*, which is what I would expect -- if you 
get any hits there then follow them up to see what they are doing.  If 
you get hits in /etc/rc.d not in my list then have a look.  (I'm still 
on FreeBSD 5 so if you are on 6 then you may get slightly fewer or more 
hits, but I wouldn't expect too drastic differences).


My hits are:

/etc/rc.d/atm1:                 ifconfig ${natm} up
/etc/rc.d/dhclient:             ifconfig ${ifn}
/etc/rc.d/initdiskless: iflist=`ifconfig -l`
/etc/rc.d/initdiskless:     set -- `ifconfig ${i}`
/etc/rc.d/ip6addrctl:   if ifconfig lo0 inet6 >/dev/null 2>&1; then
/etc/rc.d/ip6addrctl:   if ifconfig lo0 inet6 >/dev/null 2>&1; then
/etc/rc.d/netif:#       it will call ifconfig(8) to show, in long 
format, the configured
/etc/rc.d/netif:                                ifconfig ${ifn}
/etc/rc.d/netif:        ifconfig_up ${ifn} && cfg=0
/etc/rc.d/netif:        ifconfig_down ${ifn} && cfg=0
/etc/rc.d/network_ipv6:         ipv6_network_interfaces="`ifconfig -l`"
/etc/rc.d/network_ipv6:                 ifconfig $i up
/etc/rc.d/pflog:        if ! ifconfig pflog0 up; then
/etc/rc.d/rtadvd:               for i in `ifconfig -l` ; do
/etc/rc.d/rtadvd:                       
lo0|gif[0-9]*|stf[0-9]*|faith[0-9]*|lp[0-9]*|sl[0-9]*|tun[0-9]*)
/etc/rc.d/sppp: # to go _before_ the general ifconfig since in the case
