The bug in the PR is caused by a wrong fix for this in rev.1.249. Between rev.1.171 and rev.1.249, people were confused by "MAKEDEV cd4" making 4 unwanted devices (cd0 through cd3) but not the one wanted (cd4). Related bugs: "MAKEDEV all" makes bpf0, tap0 and tun0 4 times each, because some parts of MAKEDEV don't understand when other parts of MAKEDEV loop over all unit numbers <= the specified one.
