Try adding a loopback route for 224. (i.e., route add 224 127.0.0.1).
ISTR someone having a problem with this (cgd?) and that a PR got filed.
Either routed should be setting up its multicast loopback routes,
/etc/rc should, or if it the multicast code in the kernel was thought to
not need this anymore that should be reviewd.
