I figured it out.  Proxy ARP is _very_ touchy when it comes to subnets. 
 Since the netmask is a /32 subnet on the host vif the route works if 
added as 169.254.1.1/32 on the guest (versus a /24).  This allows RedHat 
to do what they want and I need not worry if a user turns of zeroconf 
support on their own now.
Thanks,
Matt
