I'm no Android guru but it might be logical. When the device becomes a
hotspot it essentially becomes a router. It should then support the 
IGMP
protocol. A broadcast it could simply forward anywhere. There's a 
question
on SO:

No definite answer though.

Even on a linux machine you have to do some configuration before it 
does
multicast routing, i think.

$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/mc_forwarding
