I can't tell from the details you posted, but are you sure it's the Firepass doing the proxy-arp? I've had many problems with PIX proxy arp'ing in scenarios where two machines are on the same PIX interface and both have static translations. When they try to talk to each other, the PIX responds with it's MAC. If you're translating the Firepass on the PIX (and I would assume you are), then you might need to hard code the arp table entries for it in the PIX.
