No

Without further information (network configuration), I would say that 
the bridge setup with re0 is the culprit. You probably have conflicting 
MAC addresses on your LAN, and the thing settles down by itself after 
arp/route cache expiration.

Does it also happen when you turn dom0 as a L3 gateway (using 
"script=vif-ip")?
