Bob, As Dave mentioned, all the virtualization/flows etc that Crossbow implements is a MAC layer. In general the loop back is done higher in the stack and hence the problem.
It would be useful if you can give us some details on what you are trying to accomplish and we can try and help you. If you are using virtual machines and trying to track traffic between virtual machines, then setting the flows from Host OS would work (we need to fix the CR 6778531 which already got fixed in crossbow-gate and should be available in snv109). Alternatively, you can use zones within the same guest/kernel over etherstubs forcing everything to go through mac layer and flows would work.
