Ok, I just took a look at that might be going on.

The reason OpenBSD=E2=80=99s =E2=80=9Cqlw" driver is working for you is =
because it, by default, ignores unknown responses and prints no =
diagnostics when it encounters them, whereas the NetBSD driver is =
detecting some sort of unexpected condition and reporting it.

I=E2=80=99ll see if I can figure out what the unexpected 0x09 =
(=E2=80=9CRQSTYPE_A64=E2=80=9D) means later tonight.  Alas, no comments =
for those entry types in the deriver=E2=80=99s header files:

#define RQSTYPE_A64             0x09
#define RQSTYPE_A64_CONT        0x0a
