Sorry, but this is wrong. We send an answer here ("ARP request 
replied locally") and of course we must then switch src and destination. 
Otherwise we would send the ARP response to the entity which didn't requested 
it.

This was already marked as false positive in Coverity a long time ago.

Kind regards,
