You mean you can try to resolve trouble if you get access to machine?
I also have tryed /32, but this do not help:

It seems v7 thinks that 10.10.16.3 is not local IP
So it add route to 10.10.16.0/28 via gateway 10.10.16.3
I think something in wrong in algorithm of adding IP to system
And somebody broke something in right code of FreeBSD 6.3
So I think if you diff file FreeBSD 6.3 and FreeBSD 7.0 that responsible for routing you can find mistake and it may be fixed easily =)
