pfsync after reboot does not synchronize

All the examples I've seen give the syncdev an IP address, my setup
included.  I'd try that.  It's strange that it works partially without
having done that, though.  Maybe someone with more pfsync knowledge could
explain why for me?  I'd imagine it has something to do with sending out via
multicast.

My apologies, I misread that :)

Is there a protocol other than pfsync that should be permitted on that

You don't need anything other than pfsync to pass on fxp0 for this to work.
