The check is only done for MAC clients (VNICs are one type of MAC clients) defined on top of the same underlying MAC instance (for example NIC), but there's currently no check to ensure that the same MAC address is not used somewhere else on the network. Note that the architecture doesn't prevent such a feature to be implemented in the future, but it's not currently planned for our initial putback.
