no gratuitous ARP requests sent while doing oA failover

The following was seen while operating FW 3.71:

 

  1. Simply unplugging the network cable from the standby OA and plugging it back in.  No gratuitious arp.

 

2.  Restarting the standby OA.  Gratuitous arp sent.

 

3.  Unplugging the network cable, restarting the standby OA, waiting 5 minutes (long after the standby is 'up'), plugged cable back in.  No gratuitous arp.

 

i have looked into the pcap files and indeed can confirm the 3 points above are valid; any idea how to proceed?
