I had what sounds like the same problem with tap devices and rump kernel.
I haven't yet filed a bug but I think there is one... 0 length reads should not happen. I am not sure if it changed in recent versions but I think it may have. Planning to investigate. If you do the first open with nonblock it seems to work but fcntl does not.
macvtap devices are fine, but the api for them is different.
