    Indeed, the address assignment arguments should precede other
    parameters to ifconfig(8). I think this is evident from the syntax
    shown on the manpage.

    Adding aliases on vlanX this way has been working for me. Could
    you check if prepending the "inet" keyword before the address changes
    anything? I prefer to specify address family explicitly in my
    rc.conf files. E.g.:

            ifconfig_vlan1_alias0="inet 1.2.3.4/32"
