 Do you still experience a panic if you run this script, destroy the
 vlans it created, and then try your test again?
 
 I've briefly looked into a race condition with if_grow() and I wonder
 if this is the case you're encountering.  It will only occur when you
 go from e.g. 8->16 or 16->32 ifnets, as the array expands by a factor
 of two each time.
