So you are saying that if you set the local address to, say -m 0x54, and then send a messages with -t 0x54, it will not route it to the local MC, and the message just gets lost? That may be the case, I'm not that familiar with ipmitool. One would expect that would work properly, but the driver does not catch this (perhaps it should) and perhaps ipmitool doesn't (perhaps it should). The openipmi library does do this.
