Yes, that sounds reasonable.  Anything that is returned on an interface which doesn't match what it should be in the 
routing table would also be considered "martian" if routing table entries apply to specific interfaces.

Are you running BGP with a default route?  That might be causing it as Linux network stack prefers more specific 
entries, so if you're getting a bounce over a different interface...
