iftop shows no traffic, tcpdump shows lots of traffic

I have a FreeBSD box with interface ix1 plugged into a SPAN port on our switch.
If I run tcpdump -i ix1 -v I get a flood of output. There's several hundred mbit of traffic running past that interface every second.
If I run iftop -i ix1 the screen shows nothing. 0 bytes for transmit, receive, and total.
I also tried iftop -p -i ix1 with the same results.

The interface is up and in promiscuous mode.

I have a very similar box with slightly different network cards and plugging it in and running iftop -i igb1 shows what I would expect.

Am I missing something?
