That's what this example suggests, yes -- as 01-00-00-00-00-48-DE-AC
would not be a valid source address, as it is a group address.  Note,
however, that Annex C is an informative annex, and not a normative
annex.

I've reached out to the IEEE for clarification of this issue, let's
see what they come up with.
