You seem to have the following problem:
if_bridge(4) tries to disable TXCSUM on all members added.
But you add if_lagg(4), which doesn't pass those requests to it's
members, but simply ignores the request.
So you need to manually -txcsum (-txcsum6), e.g. in rc.conf when you set
them "up".

Unofrtunately I don't know how offloading is implemented generally, nor
how it works for if_igb(4), so I haven't thought about the reason yet,
why you need to disable TXCSUM.
Much more important, does it also affect TSO?
I can't tell, maybe someone with more knowledge can jump in.
