Ok this is not 100% true either. It wouldn't be too difficult to add a layer on top of the nic hw emulation that did ethernet frame to ip frame and vice versa before passing the frames to a tun device. (The user mode networking code already does ethernet frame conversion.) So it wouldn't be that difficult to get to work, and you wouldn't lose too much either (only IP-based protocols such as TCP or UDP would work, but I've never heard of anyone trying to use IPX or even IPv6 with qemu so that probably is not an issue).
Not entirely sure how you would map this.. tun is a point-to-point device. There is no broadcasts, no ARP, just plain unicast protocol packets (usually IP, but may be any protocol supported by the host).
