>Description:
Assigning the same IP to multiple interfaces simultaneously sounds insane, but some people do it.  However, if you assign them to separate FIBs as well as separate interfaces, bad stuff happens.  For one thing, only the first FIB used will get a host route.  For another, if you delete the addresses in FIFO order the host route will never get deleted (though it will if you delete them in LIFO order).
>How-To-Repeat:
On a system with net.add_addr_allfibs=0 and net.fibs=4, Run the following commands:

# ifconfig tap0 create
# ifconfig tap1 create
# ifconfig tap0 192.0.2.2/32 fib 2
# ifconfig tap1 192.0.2.2/32 fib 3
# setfib 2 netstat -rn -f inet
Routing tables (fib: 2)

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags    Netif Expire
192.0.2.2          link#3             UHS       lo0
192.0.2.2/32       link#3             U        tap0
# setfib 3 netstat -rn -f inet
Routing tables (fib: 3)

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags    Netif Expire
192.0.2.2/32       link#4             U        tap1

Notice that FIB 3 does not get a 192.0.2.2 host route.  Now try deleting the addresses in FIFO order:

# ifconfig tap0 -alias 192.0.2.2
# ifconfig tap1 -alias 192.0.2.2
# setfib 2 netstat -rn -f inet
Routing tables (fib: 2)

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags    Netif Expire
192.0.2.2          link#4             UHS       lo0
