Way back in June 92, I had seen this Arp-reply problem occur in 8.3(1) 
and 8.2(5) GS3-BF(bridging) and we had a Cisco engineer come on site and 
confirm.  The engineer went back to Cisco and later asked me to try using 
9.0(1) and as you mention it occured again. The Cisco engineer acknowledged it
as a bug and suggested that I try 8.2(7). At that point I was pretty bugged
and told him to try it himself before he suggested it as a fix. He never
got back to me.
