I found the issue. For whatever reason why it doesn't happen on 11.4,
an incoming ICMP Redirect message is coming from the gateway to direct

That definitely also happened on much older releases - it's a standard
network feature. It may be disabled, but probably shouldn't be.

I only disabled it because the 'route' isn't getting flushed from the
network stack when the network entry is removed.

The redirect poisoned the network stack since I can't connect to the
remote host unless I'm on the network where the redirect originated.

/usr/sbin/routef might be of some help.
