It's an ancient bug; it's reported in GNATS ( 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/164475 - it was known 
long before the report, once I just decided to actually put it in GNATS; 
unfortunately, it wasn't fixed). Actually, as I can remember, this was 
never working since gre(4) was introduced in 4.x (for various reasons). 
It's somehow related with default route for the tunnel remote end, but 
anyway this still isn't fixed. And yeah, everyone who's using gre is 
using some sort of custom rc script to fix the RUNNING flag after a boot.
