When you have an pseudo-ethernet interface set, with mode private and then you try to change it without re-adding the interface the VyOS gives an error and is unable to commit the config.
The interface config portion:
pseudo-ethernet peth0 {
address <snip>
firewall {
in {
name PETH0_IN
}
}
mac <snip>
mode private
source-interface eth0
