My colleague found an interesting article here https://etherarp.net/basics-link-local/ that might explain why Linux and its network/routing protocol stack is treating the IP address range 169.254.x.x so special.
I think at this time everybody understands here that Hilscher is not able to make a deep dive into the Linux source code (the Raspbian OS source code by the way is the base for netPI's YOCTO linux) to search the root cause for this treatment.
Since it is proven that the original Raspberry Pi handles the packets the same like netPI we are fine with that issue and accept it as given.
