Sorry, the machine is still exhibiting the same behaviour with your kernel.
First boot: OK
Subsequent reboots, whether into the same kernel or another one, setting the MAC address to 00:00:00:00:BD:D1
Reset by complete power off (at the wall or the back of the PC case).
Incidentally, I installed the mainline kernel 2.6.34-rc5 and it handles the MAC address correctly again. I've had plenty of opportunity to test this with all the live CD/install testing of the last 48 hours or so.
