disclaimer: haven't done this meeself before, but

I read something 'one time' about the vlan tagging knocking a few bytes
out of the available space on the ethernet frame -

so your xl0:vlanX interface 'mtu' numbers are probably a few bytes
smaller than the default mtu on xl0/xl1/bridge0 (or whatever is already
on the bridge and/or not 'virtualized') .. have you tried matching them
up via "ifconfig ... mtu" ?

(e.g. might need to destroy the bridge, set the mtu on the bridge to
match the vlanX's , then re-add the vlan ifs..)
