I don't *think* this is expected to work at the moment unless possibly
you specify a destination MAC address with -link.

It does work with point-to-point interfaces, e.g. you can have
192.0.2.1/28 on em0 and 192.0.2.1/32 on pppoe0 and things will work
as expected, but in that case you don't have a problem of picking a
particular link-layer address, just "the pppoe0 interface" is enough
information for the system to know where to send the packet.

The best I've done so far for address conservation on ethernet-like
interfaces is to use /31's (which works well).
