Marek already suggested that the packet format version should be increased to clearly state that these versions are not compatible. But it could also be that you triggered a bug in the new bla implementation... still I don't understand why you are doing this. Which node should detect the ARP packets? Maybe you can explain it again to better understand your network architecture.
Before you update all your nodes to the same version it would be really helpful to find out if there is an incompatibility between the old BLA and the new BLA. We are not 100% sure about that.
By the way, looking at our compatibility number table (http://www.open- mesh.org/wiki/batman-adv/Compatversion) I see that 2011.0.0 has compat 12 whereas 2011.4.0 has compat number 14. That could be the reason why your setup is not working.
