Comment(by mbletsas):

 I agree that from the kernel point of view, what you describe is
 straightforward, however from the firmware point of view things are
 different.

 The firmware doesn't understand anything above layer-2 and currently
 treats broadcast and multicast frames in the same manner (i.e. keeps track
 of recently forwarded ones so that it doesn't retransmit them).
