That's because you weren't running a MANET. 

I'm going to stop spending time on this discussion now.

Hmmm... I have just tried two WiFi networks nearby (ad-hoc more, ha!) 
with different ESSIDs and channels and the link-locally addressed 
messages from one to another are invisible on Wireshark (from one link 
to another).

Besides, in some cases even in Access Point mode the messages from STA 
to BS are invisible between STAs on same ESSID, but that's particular.

Any other experience enlightening.
