Well, when we used the policy routing example from the Cisco advisory to
drop just 92 byte ICMP traffic, we had other random types of traffic
dropped as well (possibly an IOS bug, but who knows).

It is cisco. There are no bugs. They are unknown features. When Cisco does
figure out what that those packets are, they will document it.
