It is a fallback for HW that doesn't support multicast filtering.

Care to look a few lines above?  If you did, you would have seen this:

	memset(&mreq, 0, sizeof(mreq));
	mreq.mr_ifindex = index;
	mreq.mr_type = PACKET_MR_MULTICAST;
	mreq.mr_alen = MAC_LEN;
	memcpy(mreq.mr_address, addr1, MAC_LEN);

	err1 = setsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, option, &mreq, sizeof(mreq));

Well, you can see that there is something wrong.  Perhaps you are not
matching the meta frames to the received packets.  That is one
possible explanation, but you'll have to figure out what is happening.
