Same here. My -CURRENT system is replying to those ARP request which carry
0.0.0.0 as sender IP address:
14:43:33.706099 arp who-has 158.227.48.193 (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) tell 0.0.0.0
14:43:33.706152 arp reply 0.0.0.0 is-at 0:d0:b7:3e:a0:fb

I don't think so:
# ifconfig -a
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 158.227.6.52 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 158.227.6.255

inet6 fec0::9ee3:634 prefixlen 120
ether 00:d0:b7:3e:a0:fb
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)

lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
Something is broken in the ARP implementation of -CURRENT.
