Areca ARC-1280ML weirdness on amd64 8.0-BETA2?

Hello world.

I've got an AMD64 ASUS motherboard with an Areca ARC-1280ML attached.
The card is neatly supported in FreeBSD, from what I've seen - all the
drives I plugged in showed up, everything was happy, I created a
10-disk RAID-Z2 across the drives, hurray. Run it for a few days,
scrub a few things, reboot a number of times, everything's a dream.

Unplug everything, move it to its final location, replug everything.

Hm, how strange. I'm only seeing /dev/da0 through da6 instead of da0
through da10 [there were 11 drives attached, one unused].

Okay, poke the ARC-1280ML directly using the sysutils/areca-cli utility.

Reports all 11 drives happily attached.

dmesg only reports notes on da0 through da6.

camcontrol reports:

# camcontrol devlist -v

<>                                 at scbus-1 target -1 lun -1 (xpt0)

camcontrol rescan all changes nothing.

In stark contrast, areca-cli:

Is there something I've missed, or is this just broken behavior?
