Bikespace, Just spent a day testing exactly this...spooky You're correct , Cisco's cannot put a multicast mac in its arp cache dynamically - BUT - you CAN put STATIC ARP entries in a Cisco pointing to a multicast mac.( Even if Layer3 is unicast)
However there are some small perfomance points here ( only small !) Turning CEF on does have some benefits but not huge amounts. I threw 100 * 512 byte UPD segments at the Cisco for 5 mins while using a static multicast arp entry - It coped just fine.
