1.3.99 breaks loopback device?

After booting with 1.3.99, I noticed the following:

bash# /sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
bash# /sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.1
SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument

This sequence of commands, setting up the loopback device in this
fashion has been in my rc scripts for ages.

The loopback device seems broken. Anyone else see this?

Rebooting with 1.3.98, I don't see this problem.
