My experience are somewhat mixed. I do get panics during ifconfigs of 
bge0 in the inet6 output path (see PR/25227).
Since then I do not automatically start ipnat/ipf at boot. I still have 
those panics at system shutdown.

It seems to work when you do forcestarts after system boot. I am not 
sure whether configuration succeeds
always as i was adjusting the rules to match the extended error 
checking. Check for the rules actually
being active with ipfstat -i and ipfstat -o.
"keep state" works for me. Generally except for PR/25227 ipf works after 
ensuring that rules are
loaded.
