I would guess that transmission from the CPU is broken in this
case. It could be looking up the destination address in the
translation table and not finding an entry. So it floods the packet
out all interfaces, including the CPU. So the CPU receives its own
packet and gives this warning.

Flooding should exclude where the frame came from.
