If the template host interface is of type tun, and it's configured with a point-to-point peer address (that's what happens for example with openvpn and '--topology net30'), pasta will copy the peer information onto the namespace interface. But the namespace interface is not actually a point-to-point tunnel, and we won't resolve the peer address via ARP either, so we have to drop this information to get the expected behaviour (traffic regularly sent over our tap interface).
