Alright, a cold boot doesn't help. I froze up on an rsync, and observed these
stats:

re0 statistics:
Tx frames : 209681
Rx frames : 27559
Tx errors : 0
Rx errors : 0
Rx missed frames : 0
Rx frame alignment errs : 0
Tx single collisions : 0
Tx multiple collisions : 0
Rx unicast frames : 27548
Rx broadcast frames : 9
Rx multicast frames : 2
Tx aborts : 0
Tx underruns : 0

I rebooted with MSI and MSI-X disabled, and it broke again on an rsync. I
observed:

re0 statistics:
Tx frames : 416065
Rx frames : 47783
Tx errors : 0
Rx errors : 0
Rx missed frames : 0
Rx frame alignment errs : 0
Tx single collisions : 0
Tx multiple collisions : 0
Rx unicast frames : 47757
Rx broadcast frames : 24
Rx multicast frames : 2
Tx aborts : 0
Tx underruns : 0

The multicast frames seem to coincide with interface lock-ups.

This time to correct I said ifconfig re0 down; ifconfig re0 up. It came back
but the rsync died.

I'll be happy to provide further debugging information once I know how to
collect it.
