if the dmesg output and the iptable counters are telling me that the

Just a guess, but ISTR that the standard linux DHCP server does not use
the normal mechanisms, but talks to the network interfaces at such a low
level that it sees the packets before netfilter.
Why sould it do: When I look at the RFCs, I see that bootp is designed to
use the UDP/IP. It only has to send a ARP request to get the MAC address
of the client. But this is a normal behavior on a local network segment
too!
The DHCP server I use, is the standard ISC server.
