 This isn't a bug with the kernel.
 There is no expectation that routes should be cleared when the interface goes dow.
 
 dhcpcd(8) on the other hand when running in master mode, will *change* the route 
 if it can to an active interface.
 
 Assuming bge0 and iwi0 are on the same network if you take bge0 down or unplug 
 the cable, the subnet routes will be moved to iwi0.
 When you plug the cable back in or bring bge0 up the subnet routes will be moved 
 back to the bge0 interface.
