Firmware 2.5.1.16 broke attached list

I updated my RBR50 to firmware 2.5.1.16. My attached devices list now has fake MAC addresses for multiple devices. They all seem to start with same fake MAC address for first 3 segments. Anyone else ...

    OK, so I have a unique setup and seems like latest firmware has a way of handing it

     

    I have some wired devices behind a non-orbi wifi bridge. All those devices have same first 3 segments as the wifi bridge. Previously, I could see their full MAC address, but now I see Hybrid - 1st 3 segments of the wifi bridge and last 3 segments of the wired device. 

     

    Not much an issue, just a change of behavior, I updated my labels.
