I ran into similar limitations with the same version. I have tried both
MAC synchronization and VRRP. When packets hit the "wrong" node (the one
that didn't learn the neighbor information), they are not
forwarded. See:

I got additional private feedback from people with similar issues
(MC-LAG and L3 forwarding). I didn't try to involve JTAC.
