Odd browsing behavior

If I have the following in cupsd.conf, I can see UDP browsing packets on
the wire:

  Port 631
  BrowseAddress @IF(eth0)

If I replace the Port directive with Listen, the server no longer sends
UDP browsing packets.

  Listen 127.0.0.1:631
  Listen 192.168.11.20:631
  BrowseAddress @IF(eth0)

I work around the problem by changing the BrowseAddress directive.  The
following sends UDP browsing packets:

  Listen 127.0.0.1:631
  Listen 192.168.11.20:631
  BrowseAddress 192.168.11.255

I have a workaround but this behavior seems inconsistent.  Did I miss
something in the docs?  Can anyone explain why this is?

System is Linux (CentOS 4) with CUPS 1.1.22.

Thanks.
