This issue is already known about and the behaviour you are seeing is in accordance with how ifconfig should currently behave. I suggest patching rc scripts until it can be solved the right way round.

ifconfig bug
Hi, shouldn't this work? # ifconfig em0 inet 128.9.168.58 netmask 255.255.240.0 \ ether 00:07:e9:0a:26:52 ifconfig: ether: bad value This is with today's -current, but this may have been around longer - I hadn't tried it before today. Using two commands to set MAC and IP addresses works fine, but it needs to be one command for rc.conf.
