If you don't seen any traffic at all when snooping the interface, then
I'd expect that you may have a network configuration problem. IPMP
works at a level far above 'snoop', and it assumes that all of the
interfaces in the group are connected to the same Ethernet subnetwork
(broadcast domain).
You should at least see the same broadcast and multicast traffic on
all members of the group, if the network is wired up correctly.

No, it just means that you only have one data address.

Nit: that should be equivalent to just:
twilight group ipmp0

I don't think that "deprecated" does anything useful on interfaces
that lack an IP address, but that should otherwise work for an
active-standby configuration.
