(In reply to Andreas Pflug from comment #12)
Having thought about this some more I think even more strongly that changing
the behaviour would be wrong.

Multicast is a routable protocol, even if the Ethernet address resolution is
different from unicast traffic. There may also be use cases for the current
behaviour (and route-to *does* do exactly what it's designed and documented to
do).
Moreover, the problem you ran into is specific to Ethernet, so introducing
changes in a layer 3 firewall for the sake of one layer 2 protocol is also the
wrong strategy.

Rodney is also correct that this is a policy question which you can express in
your rules.
