Yes, and that produces mixed results:

1. When I try iPXE by booting to a CD... this is when the error 
happens... and then the machine is completely frozen (ctrl-alt-del does 
not work).
    - This uses the ipxe.krn file, extracted from the ISO created by the 
iPXE Makefile.

2. When I try iPXE by PXE booting of the network card and then chain 
loading iPXE... the error does not happen.
    - This uses the undionly.kpxe file, created by the iPXE Makefile.


This error occurs with the following GIT commits:
- 936134ed460618e18cc05d677a442d43d5e739a1 (roughly 6/24/2013)
- 7405685df2bea9a457970d8b5a63ede08fcda6f7 (roughly 9/25/2013)


In case #1 above, I get the following when running 'ifstat' from the 
shell:
net0: 00:1a:a0:07:3d:98 using BCM4401-B0 on PCI02:09.0 (closed)
   [Link:up, TX:0 TXE:0 RX:0 RXE:0]

In case #2 above, I get the following when running 'ifstat' from the 
shell:
net0: 00:1a:a0:07:3d:98 using undionly on UNDI-PCI02:09.0 (closed)
   [Link:up, TX:0 TXE:0 RX:0 RXE:0]
