After some experimentation, it turns out that if I create 3 or more carp interfaces on the same physical interface, then carp0 always comes up as INIT on boot. I have replicated this on two other machines, so this is not just a fluke.
Wrong. Here are the carp interfaces from a test server. The first two (carp0, carp1) are for an arp-balance config on fxp1. The next two (carp2, carp3) are another arp-balance config on fxp0. The last three I just created to test your claim. They were all added to fxp1, giving me five carp interfaces on fxp1. Note that none of these interfaces are in INIT.
