Multicast error

Description
We have come upon a strange multicast behaviour. We run OpenVPN on Windows 7 and use the TAP setting. When a OpenVPN server sends a multicast packet over TAP it seems that only one client gets a correct multicast packet (the same as on the server). The rest of the clients get a corrupted first octet for the destination MAC address (00 is replaced by FB).
This have been observered on OpenVPN 2.4.3, OpenVPN 2.4.7 and OpenVPN 2.4.8. The multicast packets are still delivered on OpenVPN 2.4.3 and OpenVPN 2.4.7, but not on OpenVPN 2.4.8. The packets will also be delivered on OpenVPN 2.4.8 with the help of WireShark? running in promiscuous mode on the clients.

Fixing the milestone from "the release that was observed" to "the release that this might get fixed-in".
