I don't think it's necessarily an intended use-case for the vlan feature

Well, it is. vlan=x really means "the ethernet segment named x". If you connect all your guest nics to one vlan, you are connecting them all to one ethernet segment, so any packet transmitted on one will be reflected on others.

Whether this is a useful feature is another matter, but the code is functioning as expected.
