I was unable to reproduce this.  I tried 10 times using latest gPXE
from git (2eeb711560ffb78bbd1d4923be53f3718fa485f5 Thu Aug 13 21:48:10
2009 +0100) and qemu-kvm-0.11.0.  Here is the command-line I used:

kvm -net user -net nic,macaddr=00:21:d8:ab:e2:7e -option-rom
bin/10ec8139.rom /dev/null

The correct MAC address was used each time.

The rtl8139 code looks okay and seems to match QEMU rtl8139 emulation.
 I did not look at the EEPROM code since Thomas said he will take a
look, there might be a bug in there.
