To test this patch, you'll need to set arp_validate to all.
Well, insuring that nothing breaks without arp_validate is good, too,
but the patch is supposed to make arp_validate function with an
arp_ip_target accessed via a VLAN.

This is expected, these are the broadcast ARP_REQUEST packets
the bond issues as probes, every 250 ms as specified by your
arp_interval. Any broadcasts on the switch or other traffic flooded to
all ports will come into the slave device, and (for the active-backup
inactive slave case) all of it is thrown away. There's some trickery in
netif_receive_skb for sockets that bind directly to the slave, but that
doesn't seem to affect tcpdump.

This is normal, as incoming traffic is assigned to the master
before the packet capture gets a look.

This is also normal (seeing only outbound traffic) for the same
reason as above.

I believe so, provided you enable arp_validate as mentioned
above.
