  Do you have an example?  I could imagine some theoretically but
  personally think that the default route which depends on a static
  route is one which should be avoided.

Isn't that the case when the default gateway address is on a different
subnet than the address assigned to the interface? Such set ups are
admittedly odd but they should be possible on FreeBSD as well as on
other OSes.
That has always been specifically not supported. default route needs to be directly attached.
in fact the routing tables only ever deliver the 'next hop'
