To make this a bit more deterministic, I've added a warning and reset
the 'inline' attribute:
...
Checking /etc/shorewall/hosts...
Determining Hosts in Zones...
Locating Action Files...
WARNING: Resetting 'inline' option on action Broadcast -- that

Checking /usr/share/shorewall/action.Drop for chain Drop...
Checking /usr/share/shorewall/action.Broadcast for chain Broadcast...
