this is not supposed to be broken, or at least, i think we want to continue supporting this even if it requires configuration changes. if i understand your use-case correctly, you are relying on devd to start dhclient on an interface when the link comes up, when this interface is also a member of a bridge, is that correct? if so, are you able to modify your devd event script to run dhclient on the bridge instead?
