It is a broadcast, defined by Ethernet as only being propagated within that single Ethernet segment. Without this the network would be to sensitive to broadcast loops. If you want to do things differently then you may be able to use the frame diverter to have the router grab the packets, or write a netfilter/iptables module doing something similar. But I honestly do not understan why you want to use broadcast MAC when there is proxy-ARP, bridgeing and several other more suitable mechanisms for connecting two Ethernet segments of the same IP segment.
