Hmm, that's not true for the last ebtables release.
For the publicly available ebtables release, the ebtables LOCAL_OUT chain is
traversed before the iptables filter table LOCAL_OUT chain. I'm working with
an unreleased version that makes the ebtables LOCAL_OUT chain be traversed
after the mentioned iptables chain, so my unreleased version is more
logical. Hmm, maybe I should release a new experimental version. Ok, I will.
Anyway, now I don't have a logical explanation for your problem. The packet
can't be dropped in the ebtables LOCAL_OUT chain because it gets as far as
the iptables LOCAL_OUT chain. You do know the packet has to go through
ebtables' and iptables' POSTROUTING chains too, right? (Dumb question, I
know)
