I will try to reproduce this in the weekend. Just to make sure, you are
pinging 192.168.0.3 from a remote wireless node connected to ath0, and
unplugging em0 causes this to fail?

connect both wireless and ether. it is pingable. disconnect ether. no
can ping.

reduce to
ifconfig_ath0="inet 192.168.0.3/24 ssid rgnet up"
with no em0, bridge, ... and it is pingable.

Be sure apbridge is enabled so the 802.11 layer does intra-bss bridging; otherwise traffic must be fwd'd by a bridge component (should be on by default). Also you can use tcpdump to check traffic on each interface to isolate the issue.
