That's not quite correct.  The problem is not that the packets wouldn't 
be accepted by your client, or that your client would not reply to ARP 
requests.  The Buffalo device at 1.1.1.1 would accept packets from your 
client (unless rp_filter is enabled and it had no default route, but 
let's ignore that), but it would lack a route back to the client.  The 
Buffalo device would never send an ARP request, nor would it send 
packets in return.
