I've found this in the spec - see sta_tx_dcf_3.1d(10) (page 2410 of
802.11-2012):

cTmcfrm:=
  If (fsdu!grpa or
      ((toDs(tpdu) = 1) and (isGrp(addr3(tpdu))) and (fsdu!fTot=fsdu!
fCur+1))
     )
  then inc(cTmcfrm)
  else cTmcfrm fi

fsdu!grpa is true if RA is multicast, but the rest is clearly checking
the DA (and for fragmentation, which can happen in that case.)

So I believe this patch is correct and will apply it (with some commit
message fixes - should say A1 not hdr1)
