Ugh, I know of such an issue, but was thinking that it should be fixed by now.  
Can you make sure that you have your kernel/em(4) built with if_em.c 1.44.2.6 
or later?  The effect should simply be that it disables VLAN hardware support 
which doesn't seem to work with promiscuous mode.  You could also try to 
disable it manually (ifconfig) to see if that improves on the packet loss.
