BandwidthD uses promiscuous mode when not called for

Hey,
I _FINALLY_ solved the problem of why my pfSense virtual machine was causing a massive bottleneck on my network. It had promiscuous mode turn on for vxn0 (the LAN device) when it wasn't called for! vxn0 is attached to a gigabit LAN adapter that serves the host system as a fileserver. Naturally, unbelievably high CPU usage spikes ensued.
I couldn't figure out why ifconfig vxn0 -promisc replied with "vxn0: promiscuous mode enabled". After poking around the services and disabling BandwidthD, "ifconfig vxn0 -promisc" didn't have anything to say at all, but it was finally disabled.
I checked the configuration and sure enough, "promiscuous" was unchecked in BandwidthD.
Bug, much? =\
