I'm not an expert on the Crossbow stack, but essentially I think this
is correct, so perhaps we're looking at a VNIC issue with fugu0 and
not anything to do with hardware.

Since you're not using aggregate links, it should be possible to let
the global zone use igb0 directly without disturbing the KVM vnics.  I
do this on a number of dev systems.  It might be worth a try to move
the address fugu0/v4static to igb0/v4static, though you'll of course
need out-of-band or console access to do that.
