SW 10:34 AM pfSense Bug #17041: aQuantia driver in 2.9.0 base breaks with more than one VLAN assigned to it
The commit looks to be in the hardware vlan filtering. Do multiple tags work correctly with hardware filtering disabled? Steve Wheeler

SW 10:45 PM pfSense Bug #16927 (Closed): Multiple ``updaterrd.sh`` processes

SW 04:28 PM pfSense Feature #16914 (Feedback): Set IP Alias VIP as the Router Advertisement source
This looks good to me. Allows selecting as IPAlias VIP as the 'RA Interface'. Correctly generates an radvd.conf file with the VIP as source address. Steve Wheeler
