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?
