Maybe you could explain what happens to the AP's ARP cache when it had duplicate entries then?
Maybe you are getting a little confused about ap and arp. An AP is a L2 device and as such it doesn't need arp table in order to perform its duties. Arp table is there almost only because it's supposed for the AP to have an ip address for management purposes and because the ap itself may have to talk with external services (radius, syslog, ntp, ecc..), but if no wireless client is accessing the management interface of the ap no client mac address is going to appear in the arp table of the ap. Yes, dhcp server may (or may not) have problems with duplicate mac addresses, but if you are forging a mac address you are not going to use dhcp, aren't you?
