I likewise experienced it with on-board and external fxp chipsets, only in my case, the probe order for (fxp0, fxp1) switched with (fxp2, fxp3), as there were two on-MB and two on a card. Interestingly, our -CURRENT probe order is the same as that on OpenBSD. It's not clear what the "right" probe order is, but changing probe orders certainly is annoying during an upgrade :-).
