Multicast addresses are explicitly prohibited by RFC 1812 in section
3.3.2:
A router MUST not believe any ARP reply that claims that the Link
Layer address of another host or router is a broadcast or multicast
address.
Sadly, it looks like your vendor has ignored this. Microsoft
similarly ignores the requirement as well.
