arp_filter performs an ip_route_output search for arp source address and checks if output device is the same where the arp request was received, if it is not, the arp request is not answered.
This route lookup is always done on main route table so l3slave devices never find the proper route and arp is not answered. Passing l3mdev_master_ifindex_rcu(dev) return value as oif fixes the lookup for l3slave devices while maintaining same behavior for non l3slave devices as this function returns 0 in that case.
