MAC error after upgrading from vSphere 5.0 to 5.1

$

Trying to power on certain VMs (imported from Workstation) after this upgrade gives the following error:

 

An error was received from the ESX host while powering on VM Example VM.
Failed to start the virtual machine.
Module DevicePowerOn power on failed.
Could not set up "macAddress" for ethernet0.
Invalid MAC address specified.
00:0C:29:nn:nn:nn is not an allowed static Ethernet address. It conflicts with VMware reserved MACs.

 

(I've replaced the specific address with NNs.)

 

How do I override this?  It is not possible to change the MAC address of the VM.
