Thinking about obscurities, perhaps a problem when entering some

Any other way to get this address? 0S 8.1 system profiler does not report
it.
OTTool, from Neon Software should be able to do this, it also includes a bunch of useful utilities.
There may also be a way of getting it via appletalk. Go to the InfoMac archives at <http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperArchive.html> there is a tool, I probably got it there, that maps Appletalk networks...I think it reports the MAC address. Way back when they routed Appletalk on campus I had to use it to find all the macs and turn 'em off when we restarted the router, so it properly became the seed router.
Beyond this, all I can think of is that somehow, this is a weird bug in the router...
