One more update..

After booting everything up this morning, I did not create the fake
ARP entries and ran the pings again.  According to Wireshark there was
an ARP message coming from the host and an unknown message coming from
the Droid, but they were identical lengths.  After examining the
contents of the messages, the Droid was sending what appeared to be a
valid ARP message as well but it was shifted by 2 bytes - two extra
bytes at the beginning and the last two chopped off.
