The only MAC address I added was the BMC MAC - I didn't add any host
NIC MACs initially, so your explanation makes sense. Let me know if
it'd be helpful for you if I retested w/ host MACs though.

Understood. We're still running a snap version, so I won't be able to
easily pick up a source code patch. We plan to switch back to a deb
install so we can be more agile in helping with testing patches, but
we haven't scheduled the downtime yet. I can always set up another
MAAS in the lab w/ debs if you need me to test something though.
