Agreed ... that was my take too, but it was worth a shot. :)

Unfortunately, creating a "surrogate" SVI didn't help either. The 
far-side L3 interface is several switches upstream, and, while I can 
successfully create static joins from it, nothing propagates downstream 
because the recalcitrant device won't send joins.

Grrr ...
