This configuration is broken for the same reason putting two aliases
on the same interface on the same network is. When the system goes to
assign the route for the second ifconfig(8), it already exists and it
fails.
It has nothing to do with net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_wrong_iface
sysctl(8). This,
ifconfig_ti0="inet 10.10.10.221 netmask 255.255.0.0"
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 10.10.10.222 netmask 255.255.255.255"
Will work fine for you and is effectively what your system was doing
before it started flagging the configuration error.
