Both layer 3 and layer 2 tunneling is supported. Layer 3 tunneling is
the default mode; to enable layer 2 tunneling mode the link0 flag needs
to be set with ifconfig(8), or by setting up a hostname.if(5)
configura-
tion file for netstart(8). In layer 2 mode the tun interface is
simulat-
ing an Ethernet network interface.

So you need to set the link0 flag on the tun0 if. You do this by
creating a /etc/hostname.tun0 containing the following statement:
link0 up
This should solve your problem. But, why use tap instead of tun? Routing
is way more efficient than bridging.
