Are you doing bridging? I know the IBM 6611 can act as a bridge. A router wouldn't normally even attempt to forward this packet addressed to a multicast address. It seems like you must be running OSPF in addition to bridging, though. That's the multicast address used for OSPF Hellos. I think you'll have to send us your config and some information about the logical topology to get to the bottom of this.
