I added the interface requirement here:
https://roy.marples.name/git/dhcpcd.git/commit/src/if-options.c?id=f96eff45c257a7d70b6412db8ccf8c6bb5666839

Don't crash when --static routers= is given on the command line.
T116 will make it work for the control socket.

Sadly my MySQL instance for Phabricator is still hosed so I get any more 
detail about this right now.

I'll try and spend some time reverting the changeset and seeing where it 
crashes and try and find an alternative implementation.
Unsure how long this will take though, so if you have an idea, patches 
welcome.
