You described a bug symptom that should have been fixed. 
The proxy ARP entry should be displayed in the ARP table
after you apply the patch I specified.

As far as I know patches do not go into 8.0-RELEASE branch, but
I will let the release management team comment on what your options
are.

Again, you describe the symptoms that I believe should be fixed
by the patch I referred to.
