I finally had the chance to dig around more, myself.

Open vSwitch seems to try to write something when a new switch is being created
with ports. It would sometimes do so while the tap device is in the process of
being renamed, and ifp->if_bpf is null.

Preventing the departure handler from setting if_bpf to null during renames
stopped the panic:
