Question about capturing from multiple interfaces that have the same MAC Address

There appears to be an issue with Wireshark capturing information from interfaces that have the same MAC Address.  Does 
somebody know if this is an issue, or where the code for interface/MAC address binding is?

My particular situation is a "failover" situation where both NICs have been configured with the same MAC Address, but 
only one is actively receiving/transmitting at a time.
