This is a known issue; bpf is holding a mutex over calls to the driver 
that may block (in this case the taskqueue_drain calls in net80211). 
It's unlikely to be resolved for 8.0 (too risky).

Sounds like iwn isn't reacting well to the calls coming in from lagg. 
wlandebug state should provide some insight.  I've used lagg+iwn+em on a 
t61p with no obvious issues but never tried to run tcpdump on the lagg port.
