ifconfig em0 mtu 9000 does not update the routing table

Hello,
As the subject says, I'm trying to enable jumbo frames on running
machine by setting
ifconfig em0 mtu 9000 by hand, but nothing changed, and I've fount
that when I list
the routing table with the MTU column it shows the connected routes
still with MTU 1500.
Is this supposed to work this way? I understand that making ifconfig
touch the routing table is ugly hack, but maybe the routing code can
be notified for interface changes by some other mechanism?
btw, this is on 7-STABLE with if_em(4) interfaces.
