By doing some nice bisection debugging, I've narrowed the problem down
to this specific commit:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/netinet6/nd6.c#rev1.48.2.16

If you revert this change, tunnel configuration will work as before
again.  I'm now investigating the diff itself, to see if I can find an
error in there anywhere... :)
