Comment:

 We recently added a feature which translates multicast-to-unicast for
 wireless connection because WiFi is usually very bad at handling multicast
 traffic efficiently. This makes stuff like IPTV work better over wireless
 but apparently breaks in some obscure cases like yours.

 You can probably disable this by adding:
 option igmp_snooping 0
 to your lan interface config in /etc/config/network.


 I guess we will need to see if we can find a generic fix here or not since
 this layer 2 natting vmware is doing is not really standard behaviour
 either.
