It is weird but looks like a networking setup issue to me rather than a
libvirt issue. Your ping and tcpdump proves this. Seems like either the
network interface isn't really up yet or a switch or similar is broken.

Although this isn't a libvirt issue we should try to find out what
happens. Can you try to hook a bridge between your eth1 and the network
switch and see if the arp request leaves your host at all? Maybe you can
also use the switches diagnostic software. 

What kind of iSCSI target is this? Might it fail to generate the arp
reply in time?
