LocalDiscovery detecting nodes through tunnel

Hi,
I have tried the LocalDiscovery feature of tinc.
The problem is that it also sends broadcast probes out the CPN interface
*and* detects nodes on the VPN. A connection is then established through
the tunnel, which effectively breaks connectivity between the two nodes.
I do not think that discovering hosts on the VPN makes sense in any way.
How can it be disabled?
I could easily netfilter those packets out on the tunnel interface, but
this is only feasible on some of my nodes due to platform restrictions
(ever tried to use iptables in a useful way on Android without going
nuts?).
Cheers,
Nik
