It seems that's not the problem since such a route is automatically
added when eth0 is ifconfigured.  Should there be any host interface
created during this process to allow the two multicast UML to
communicate between each other ?  There are none at the moment.

I've also tried in 32-bits mode using the latest UML kernel and Fedora
fs from the web site, inside VmWare running Fedora 8 (I don't have
handy a 32 bit machine at the moment) and the result is the same as
pinging each other does not work, with the result shown above.

Does this general understanding of the basic UML networking makes sense: the 
UMLs do not communicate between each other.  They communicate with their 
tun/tap devices which have instances on the host.  On the other hand these host 
instances do communicate together.  If this is right, I do not see how 
multicast would work if no additional interface is created on the host.  But 
then I might be wrong.

Cheers,

Al
