udp6_bind kernel panic

Description
We have seen a few reports of kernel panics with services attempting to listen for requests on link-local IPv6 addresses. For example:

In each case this appears to be a package attempting to listen. So far we have confirmed Bind and Tailscale can hit this.
In Bind it can be worked around by unselecting link-local IPv6 addresses is listening interfaces. Tailscale always listens on all interfaces though.
It happens very rarely though so it seems likely this requires some other setting in combination to trigger.

I took a very quick look. The faulting code in6_pcbbind+0x360 translates to /var/jenkins/workspace/pfSense-CE-snapshots-2_7_2-main/sources/FreeBSD-src-RELENG_2_7_2/sys/netinet6/in6_pcb.c:257
That is this code fragment:
249 │ t = in6_pcblookup_local(pcbinfo, 250 │ &sin6->sin6_addr, lport, 251 │ INPLOOKUP_WILDCARD, cred); 252 │ if (t != NULL && 253 │ (so->so_type != SOCK_STREAM || 254 │ IN6_IS_ADDR_UNSPECIFIED(&t->in6p_faddr)) && 255 │ (!IN6_IS_ADDR_UNSPECIFIED(&sin6->sin6_addr) || 256 │ !IN6_IS_ADDR_UNSPECIFIED(&t->in6p_laddr) || 257 │ (t->inp_socket->so_options & SO_REUSEPORT) || 258 │ (t->inp_socket->so_options & SO_REUSEPORT_LB) == 0) && 259 │ (inp->inp_cred->cr_uid != 260 │ t->inp_cred->cr_uid)) 261 │ return (EADDRINUSE);
The faulting address is: fault virtual address = 0xb8, so we're presumably dereferencing a NULL pointer plus a small (184 byte) offset.
Given that offset and the NULL check for 't' I believe that t->inp_socket is NULL here. That should only happen when the inpcb gets freed, after it's already been removed from the list (so can't be found in the lookup any more).
So my current theory is that we're removing the inpcb (via sofree()) while running the bind.j
