The forwarding loop certainly wasn't!  It occurred when I had vr0
connected to a vlan 20 port, so bridge20 was involved.

My reason for thinking this was that the loop began immediately after
a reboot, having added

gateway_enable="YES"
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_type="OPEN"

to rc.conf and

ipfw_load="YES"
ipdivert_load="YES"
net.inet.ip.fw.default_to_accept="1"

to loader.conf.  So there could be other causes.  It made so much
sense, I assumed it was the case!
