Do you have multiple NICs cabled to the same HUB/switch? In my experience,
when people see packets arriving on unexpected interfaces, that is the
cause. The manner in which the Linux kernel handles ARP "who-has" requests
makes this type of configuration unsuitable for firewalling since any
interface connected to the HUB/switch can respond to "who-has" requests
for any of the addresses assigned to one of those NICs.
