Hmmm, first attempt at recreating in debug mode didn't actually
produce any WARN_ON reports.

'ip monitor' did say:

[root@tlondon ~]# ip monitor
239.255.255.250 dev eth0 lladdr 01:00:5e:7f:ff:fa NOARP
3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP>
    link/ether
ff02::2 dev wlan0 lladdr 33:33:00:00:00:02 NOARP
ff02::16 dev wlan0 lladdr 33:33:00:00:00:16 NOARP
ff02::1:ffac:c692 dev wlan0 lladdr 33:33:ff:ac:c6:92 NOARP
192.168.2.1 dev eth0 lladdr 00:1c:df:e2:3e:e9 STALE
3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP>
    link/ether

Will try one more time.
