Your NIC's ID differently to mine:

Mine - em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection 7.2.3>
Yours -  em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Legacy Network Connection 1.0.4>

Looks like that's different driver code? (presuming the 7.2.3 and 1.0.4 are 
the driver versions) - the 'virtual' NIC created by ESXi must be using a 
different driver.

Also - I don't get anything logged on the console or anywhere - it just 
"stops" (i.e. no watchdog errors or similar - nothing).

Aside from the apparent 'billions' of packets errors (or corrupt counters) 
- the only other thing I've found that was weird was the '-1's in the dump 
from doing 'dev.em.0.debug=1'

I think you've got a problem :( - But probably not the same problem that I 
have on this SuperMicro machine :-(
