Thanks, I did not think about it. There were some left-over subinterfaces in the configuration
with empty settings at all (and without encapsulation) and I've just removed all such interfaces.
Still, ARP requests continue to come.

Well, I have packet capture in my analyzer and I see all the details there,
like this:

# tcpdump -s0 -en -i $incoming ether dst ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff and ether src 00:26:99:28:e6:1a
23:59:06.629164 00:26:99:28:e6:1a > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 60: Request who-has 10.19.0.19 tell 10.19.0.254, length 46

At the router:
#show ip route 10.19.0.19
Routing entry for 10.19.0.0/24
  Known via "connected", distance 0, metric 0 (connected, via interface)
  Redistributing via eigrp 200
  Advertised by eigrp 200
  Routing Descriptor Blocks:
  * directly connected, via GigabitEthernet0/1.10
      Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1

#show run int GigabitEthernet0/1.10
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 260 bytes
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1.10
 encapsulation dot1Q 10
 ip address 10.19.1.254 255.255.255.0 secondary
 ip address 10.19.0.254 255.255.255.0
end

(interface description and ip access-groups not shown)

I've saved capture to PCAP file and verified it with Wireshark, no tags.
Still cannot understand why no tags.
