WG] I made reference to it in a previous message, but since the question was repeated, I'll assume that was missed and repeat the answer. The hypervisor folks seem to have figured this out so that it "just works" without NAT, using virtual interfaces that have their own unique MAC addresses so that they look like unique hosts to the network/DHCP server. I'm using it on my FreeNAS (BSD) box at home with jails, and KVM supports it, so chances are it wouldn't even be that hard to incorporate into Android.
It only "just works" if your upstream device doesn't check/care that you're emitting multiple MAC addresses from the same device. Also, it assumes that some moral equivalent of proxy arp is available.
