Thankfully it turns out this is totally unrelated to Linux - our TP-Link
Jetstream T1600G-PS has some unfortunate default behaviour and a bug.

Specifically, we are operating an IPv6-only network and Layer 2 MLD
snooping was enabled and set to forward unknown multicast groups and as
such the switch should be broadcasting all multicast packets.

However, buried in the TP-Link manual there's a note that says:

"Note: IGMP Snooping and MLD Snooping share the setting of Unknown
Multicast Groups, so you have to enable IGMP Snooping globally on the L2
FEATURES > Multicast > IGMP Snooping > Global Config page at the same
time."

We hadn't enabled IGMP snooping since we don't use IPv4!

Many thanks for the help resolving this and apologies for mis-reporting it.
