Cisco TAC finally accepted the issue. Bug CSCvc33783 has been logged. Nexus BU
has investigated.

Response is...

"[...] unfortunately this is an ASIC limitation on the Nexus 9000 switches and
is therefore not fixable."

If you want a Layer 2 switch that will forward all valid Ethernet frames, I'd
suggest avoiding the Nexus 9000 range...
