That's the 'arp' bug.

I'm not sure what you mean. It's not a 'proxy' arp bug, but a generic
arp bug. Any arp entry created by the routing protocol (and not by the
underlying ethernet address resolution protocol) will give you problems.
This means that regular 'arp' entries created by arp(8) will also give
you the same problems as static proxy-arp entries.
