It could indeed be a bug.  You might try poking around in
the fea logic, adding debugging statements and such to see
if you can figure out what is happening.

If you can get a reproducible test case that uses standard
linux kernels and no special software harness, I'll see
if I notice anything.

Also, any errors of note in the xorp logs?

Thanks,
Ben
