Try this one -- it works in 'my' subnet:

<filter name='isolatedprivatevlan-vdsm' chain='ipv4'>
    <filterref filter='clean-traffic'/>
    <rule action='drop' direction='out' priority='10'>
        <mac match='no' dstmacaddr='$GATEWAY_MAC'/>
    </rule>
</filter>

Try the above filter that puts the check into a different 'chain' into 
different order. I'll be introducing a 'mac' chain where this can then 
be put into rather than into the 'ipv4' chain.
The challenging part about the filtering rules is their order and the 
XML can unfortunately not abstract this 'away'.
