This won't console you, but I have a machine here with two wm 
interfaces (dual-port card):

wm0 at pci2 dev 10 function 0: Intel i82546EB 1000BASE-T Ethernet, rev. 1
wm0: interrupting at irq 11
wm0: 32-bit 33MHz PCI bus
wm0: 256 word (8 address bits) MicroWire EEPROM
wm0: Ethernet address 00:07:e9:08:ff:88
wm1 at pci2 dev 10 function 1: Intel i82546EB 1000BASE-T Ethernet, rev. 1
wm1: interrupting at irq 9
wm1: 32-bit 33MHz PCI bus
wm1: 256 word (8 address bits) MicroWire EEPROM
wm1: Ethernet address 00:07:e9:08:ff:89

and 6 vlans on wm1. No performance problems whatsoever (OTOH, it's 
got problems with the mpt0 scsi adapter...). The box is attached to a 
HP Procurve 2848.

What chip reveision(s) do you run?
