I closely examined the configs between the Active and Standby units, and found that I had created a VLAN group in a different partition at some point during my testing.

I removed the group and network traces confirm the L2 behavior I expect - the Standby now uses the base MAC address of the external VLAN instead of the masquerade MAC.
