I'm doing a braindead thing because I have to, but things are still
a bit unhappy.

My vx0 is defined as BOTH

a.b.c.2 netmask 0xfffffe00
a.b.c+1.2 netmask 0xffffff00

because, for various reasons, my router interface is defined as

a.b.c.10 netmask 0xffffff00
a.b.c+1.10 netmask 0xffffff00

now, this actually WORKS, more or less.
But I get a lot or arpresolve messages saying

cannot resolve a.b.c+1.10 : not on same network

if I try to do this by hand it is kicked out, saying "cannot intuit
interface ..."

why does it complain, if the 512-IP subnet works?
