I see the problem. The check on the address bind is not considering the
L3 domain - or even the device at all. That's why binding to an address
in the default VRF works, but bind to an address in a VRF fails
(requires an l3mdev match). Not sure how this has fallen through the
cracks over the last 3 years.

I will send a patch. Most likely will not happen until tomorrow.
