 Sorry for the delay, been terribly busy at work.

 I can reproduce this, thanks for reporting.  That it uses ARP instead of
 ICMP for directly connected nets is a documented feature.  There seems
 to be some sort of off by one bug with some ranges, as you have
 reported, I can see the same here.
 
 I will try to produce a fix soon.  If you have some spare time, you can
 help me by trying to build the latest development version of nmap from
 source and verifying that the bug has not been fixed yet.
