Sending 802.1Q packets using AF_PACKET socket on filtered bridge forwards with wrong MAC addresses

While attempting to send ARP DAD packets on a bridge device, I noticed 
that hosts attached to the bridge ports were not responding. After 
digging in with tcpdump/wireshark, I noticed that the MAC addresses of 
the packets (the first 12 bytes of the Ethernet frame) were wrong and 
were an exact duplicate of the following 12 bytes (bytes 13-24), but 
only on slave bridge ports. The bridge device itself had the correct 
addresses. Here is an example setup:

# ip link add br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
