Andy, Thanks for investigating so extensively. However, I'm an idiot and made a fundamental mistake in networking that I should have realized in the first place. I completely didn't think about the fact that the filter is looking at the data link layer of the packet and that this gets changed through each device. The test machine is set up behind a router. Also, to answer your question, I'm using a download test app on a web server I set up, so I'm basically using the same program for testing the throughput each time.
Sorry if I wasted anyone's time on this. With me, it's always something obvious I missed and usually I don't realize until after I have investigated every FAQ, Googled the hell out of the question, and posted to a list. If anyone has any ideas on how I can accomplish destination mac address filtering through multiple hops, I'd love to hear them. Otherwise, I think I'm going back to the drawing board on this one.

Hmm this is a strange one - I tried both ip and mac version of your script (on non-bridged eth) and both "work" ie the traffic ends up in htb 12:10 and gets shaped. I tested with proftpd as sender - it's going to be important to test both with the same app that sets tos bits for prio - probably also worth putting a bfifo on 1:3 just for stats as default prio is three band. Now what I don't get is in both cases if I do tc -s filter ls parent 12:0 I don't get any matches, so would have expected them to have gone through htb as default - unshaped not 12:10 - strange. Will have to think/try different kernel and tc versions. Did you do both tests with the same tos bit setting sender app? Alexey's point about filtering to 12:0 is because normally if you set up a tree structure for filters you need a filter rule on root to pass traffic down to child(ren) - prios automatic filtering seems to do it - but not as I expected.
