Uh? Looking at the list of allocated OUI (http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/oui.txt), I see that the following OUI are allocated: 02-07-01 02-1C-7C 02-60-86 02-60-8C 02-70-01 02-70-B0 02-70-B3 02-9D-8E 02-AA-3C 02-BB-01 02-C0-8C 02-CF-1C 02-E6-D3 AA-00-00 AA-00-01 AA-00-02 AA-00-03 AA-00-04 All of them have the second-least-significant bit of the first byte set. If this rule about being locally administered written somewhere? (And, more surprising, there is also 11-00-AA which has the LSB of the first byte set.)
