This is what tcpdump (on a disinterested machine) sees:

sis - fails:

20:53:43.423585 255.0.158.nis > 0.0.nis: nbp-lkup 1: "=:=@*"
[addr=255.0.158.128]
                          aaaa 0308 0007 809b 001a 8369 0000 ff00
                          ff9e 0202 0221 01ff 009e 8000 013d 013d
                          012a ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff

vr - works:

20:54:55.022827 255.0.158.nis > 0.0.nis: nbp-lkup 1: "=:=@*"
[addr=255.0.158.128]
                          aaaa 0308 0007 809b 001a 8369 0000 ff00
                          ff9e 0202 0221 01ff 009e 8000 013d 013d
                          012a 0050 baec bd66 00ff 009e 0000

Those trailing 1's look suspicious to me. The NBP lookup packet is only 48 
bytes, so needs padding to the ethernet minimum 60 on the wire. I suspect 
this isn't happening on the sis. The packets are otherwise well-formed (and 
the ethernet headers (not shown above) are correct).

I suppose I could dig out the 'scope...
