 Hold on a second here.

 According to the specification for DHCP (I think - can anyone
 quote chapter and verse, and/or RFC?), 169.254.0.0/16 is reserved
 for DHCP clients that don't get a lease.

 Is it possible that this is not deliberate spoofing per se,
 but a DHCP-enabled  infected machine that someone plugged into
 your non-DHCP network? Since the traffic is UDP, it wouldn't
 necessarily matter that it's spoofed for the purposes of worm
 propagation.

 Has everybody got their egress filtering working ? :)
