I have the same Broadcom controller in my MicroServer,
but there is a second Intel 82574L ethernet controller in the machine,
which could conceivably be the culprit.
What I don't really understand is why the dhcpd server
on my CentOS machine does not give this device a proper address.
(There are lots of spare 192.168.2.* slots.)
As far as I can see from iptraf-ng,
no packets are currently coming or going from this 169.254.* address,
which I see from google is a "link-local" address.
