It's very likely. I booted a 13.3 test system and a maskless lo2 ends up 
being /8:

     sea 3 # ifconfig lo2 create 127.0.0.2
     sea 4 # ifconfig lo2
     lo2: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384
             options=680003<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,LINKSTATE,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6>
             inet 127.0.0.2 netmask 0xff000000
             inet6 fe80::1%lo2 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
             groups: lo
             nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>

while 14.1 (incorrectly) results in a /24.
