Creating a new vnet jail pulls network interface into bridge

FREENAS-MINI-XL
TrueNAS-13.0-U5.3
Intel Atom CPU C2750 @ 2.40GHz, 32GB RAM
4x 1GB NICs (ix0, ix1, igb0, igb1)
ix0 - static ip, primary connection for the machine
ix1 - not connected, faulty
igb0 - no ip, bridge0 connection
igb1 - static ip, currently used for a jail.

As indicated above, I'm running a bridge for the jails (bridge0), with igb0. Everything was working fine until a few weeks ago, when a power outage led to a reboot. Afterwards, the machine became unreachable and in fact took the whole network down. Eventually I found that the ix0 interface had been pulled into bridge0 along with igb0. It is doing this each and every time I make a new jail. It is essentially the same issue that this person was facing:

I have no tunables set, there is nothing showing in the logs, and no error messages. Any time I create a new jail, the machine begins to work on it, and then the webui 'freezes' and I lose SSH connectivity to it and the rest of the network. The only way to resolve the issue is to have someone unplug the igb0 cable, after which I regain SSH connectivity through ix0, and can stop the jail and remove ix0 from bridge0 (ifconfig bridge0 deletem ix0), then reconnect igb0.

I want to put my second jail into the bridge, but every time I try, TrueNAS pulls ix0 back into the bridge and then everything breaks again. I am working remotely (>1600km), and so need to be very cautious in troubleshooting and moving forward on this. If it breaks, I need to get someone else to go and disconnect/reconnect.
