I did the same tests as noted in PR 50602 - put the system under load by
building clang from src and qt5 from pkgsrc at the same time, both with
-j3 on my Core2 @2.4Ghz dev machine.
The load was measured at about 9 by top, the machine itself was pretty
un-useable.

It also has a wm(4) interface, which the reporter had.
Also an iwn(4) interface.
Toggling both as fast as possible - my daughter power cycled the AP
while I unplugged / replugged the ethernet cable.

Doing this for about 10 minutes resulted in no lossage reported with my
patch and like state transitions happened perfectly.

I would imagine any lossage would occur as a result of a driver or
hardware defect, where more important information is likely found on the
console as well.

Is there any more testing I can do here?
