That would be nice for them to tell you what THEY consider a valid

Maybe they check against a valid manufacturer (which is the 1st half
of the MAC addr, iirc called OUI) ?
See the Debian package ieee-data.
ieee-data, another discovery today \o/
But note that in my sentence, "THEY" did refer to the Ubiquity AP the OP
was using, *not* Debian or NM.
I'm curious if the Xen OUI is valid for them (00:16:3e:nn:nn:nn).
It appears to be.
root@freeman:~# grep 16:3e /var/lib/arpwatch/ethercodes.db
0:16:3e Xensource, Inc.
Again, them == Ubiquity AP ;)
Xen recommends using its OUI on vifs, but does not enforce it, in part
for the reasons you wrote in your other post.
