There was just one bug fix since then and I guess the fix is not
related with your issue.

There is fundamental differences between em(4) and vr(4). The
vr(4) for VT6105M takes advantage of perfect multicast filtering
feature which is not present on all em(4) interface. Perfect
multicast filtering can reduce unwanted multicast traffics such
that it could save a lot of CPU cycles. The downside is that vr(4)
cannot accept multicast frames for a multicast group without
joining the multicast group first.
For multicast routing purpose I guess 'options MROUTING' kernel
option should be enabled to accept all multicast frames.
Does your kernel have that option?
No it has not. I will create such a beast and return with stories.
