It's not quite the same path Jon, I don't use wireshark at all just
tcpdump.  Maybe it is zd1211rw-mac80211 -specific.

I can confirm. My BCM4318 is seeing all the packets.
My zd1211 is only seeing the directed/broadcast ones.
My rt2x00 is seeing all the packets.

All three devices are in the same machine and using the same mac80211
stack so it must be a driver issue with zd1211.
