Does it help if you do "ifconfig ix0 -vlanhwtag -vlanhwfilter" before creating vlan? Some NICs chips re-establish link when host reprogramms their in-chip vlan mask. If you disable hardware-assisted vlan filtering to perform it at OS driver level, you shoud stop reprogramming chip while creating/destroying vlans.
Yes it helped.
Just a month ago, this did not happen.
(In reply to Alexey from comment #4) What revision do you run as per "uname -a" ?
Sorry, missed that you already mentioned r344575. Can you add revision you used "month ago" that had not this problem?
I have retest on: FreeBSD nas1 12.0-STABLE FreeBSD 12.0-STABLE r343868 NAS amd64 and this behavior is also present on this revision. This is a other server, with the same hardware configuration. There is no such problem on it.

It seems, the code of ixgbe(4) driver got not significant changes in stable/12 between revisions 341831 and 343868 but iflib did. CC'ing marius@ who might have a glue. Alexey, please show part of "pciconf -lvvv" output for your ix0 device.
if_vlan(4) driver has changed in stable/12 between revisions 341831 and 343868, so CC'ing markj@ who changed it to give him a chance to look at this.

I rolled back on the current server to revision r341831 and it did not help, then I remembered that on the second server I used the drivers installed from the ports (/usr/ports/net/intel-ix-kmod/). Now when using these drivers - there are no problems and the physical interface does not flap.
