I don't really believe these claim.

I had similar issue in the past and found an 'arp -a -d' would "fix"
it so I didn't pursued further but I think this would be an
interesting problem to get addressed.

If I would take an guess, I would start from making lagg(4) interface
to initiate one or a few gratuitous ARP broadcast when the active port
changes.  Some switches could use this to kick out their (outdated)
memory of where the port is.

Cheers,
