A read of the script itself shows loopback initialized prior to
hardware interfaces, at least in 6.2 (haven't upgraded yet).

Date in the man page for lo(4) is 2013. I'm guessing that the network
system has moved on since then, and it's actually the lo(4) source
that's out of date.
Or, possibly, the netstart authors aren't aware of the potential
problems, so started initializing loopback devices first, and ought to
change things.
