As others said, this is very "free-spirited" and typically only used in a high
availability cluster setup or other failover scenarios.
You might use the "arping" package to explicitly broadcast the changing of the
MAC for the IP by sending out additional "unsolicited ARP announcements" right
after taking up the interface in the container
/sbin/arping -c 1 -b -U $IP
While taking up an interface with an IP address, such a package is already sent
out. But it might be swallow by a switch because it's configured or even just
by a bad firmware.
Because I'm working with this HA things I know that some switches will remember
just *one* IP per MAC and will be confused by any alias IP assignments.
