There is no such packet (for .26) in your tcpdump output.

I spotted this:

21:28:30.320445 00:0b:cd:d6:66:26 > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype
802.1Q (0x8100), length 64: vlan 169, p 0, ethertype ARP, arp
who-has 192.168.169.250 tell 192.168.169.26

which matches with:

Jul 3 21:28:30 xxxx kernel: arplookup 192.168.169.26 failed: host
is not on local network

So BSD is complaining about the IP of the source, not the host being
looked up.

Again, I did see these messages in my environment, but in my case, the
error was correct: The IP *was not* on the local network. The reason
being that we had multiple subnets configured on the same broadcast
domain, so the BSD box could indeed hear ARP for subnets it did not know
about. I don't know why the box feels moved to complain about this,
however. I would think it should not care.

In this case, however, the user claims that the box is indeed a member
of the 192.168.169 subnet, and therefore it should not be complaining.
