Testing on NT 4.0 with SP6a shows that it behaves the same, although
the spoofed machine complains in its event log with a Tcpip event #4199
and an application popup #26 (IP address conflict).

It appears also that as long as the IP address is in the ARP cache,
it's MAC address can be overwritten - even if the entry is flagged as
dynamic. But as Yuri Volobuev noted in his post "Redir games with ARP
and ICMP", you would need to inject ARP packets continously in this case.
